●These operating instructions
Maintenance
Simply wipe the device with a damp cloth or an antistatic cloth. Do not use solvent or a microfibre cloth.
Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static.
Introduction
Your Gigaset Repeater extends the reception range of a maximum of 2 handsets. Up to 6 Gigaset Repeater
units can be used with a single base station thus making available extra extended reception range for each
2 handsets respectively.
The maximum number of handsets that can be registered at your base station is not affected by the
Gigaset Repeater.
Before you start to register the units, install the Gigaset Repeater in close proximity to the base station and
a power supply point. If a Gigaset Repeater is already in use, it must be switched on and positioned next to
the base station before registration can commence.

Preparing
Please refer to the user guide for your phone to check whether your base station is suitable for operating
the repeater and how to prepare it for registering the repeater.
If a repeater can register at your base station, make sure repeater mode is enabled.
Automatic registration
Carry out the following steps:
$Gigaset Repeater is enabled (power plug inserted). The de-
vice is then in registration mode for a period of five minutes.
Place the base station in Repeater registration mode in the
same way as you would to manually register a handset.
Please refer to the operating instructions for your base sta-
tion.

Manual registration
Carry out the following steps:
Repeating registration
You can reregister the Gigaset Repeater at any time, for example if initial registration was unsuccessful, or
if the Gigaset Repeater is to be registered at another base station for the first time.
Before registering the Gigaset Repeater once again (e.g. at a different base station), please reset the Gigaset
Repeater beforehand as described below:
●$Switch on the unit (power plug inserted)
●Press the registration button for at least 10 seconds to reset
The Gigaset Repeater is now ready to be registered again as described above. This is signalled by the LED
which flashes continually once the power plug is reconnected.
$Gigaset Repeater is enabled (power plug inserted).
Place the base station in Repeater registration mode in the
same way as you would to manually register a handset.
Please refer to the operating instructions for your base sta-
tion.
To perform manual registration, press the registration button
for 4 seconds (it can be found on the rear of the device, see
figure above).
Enter the number of the repeater (talk button, choose be-
tween 2 - 7) on any (registered) handset and then press the
hash key.
If you are registering a number of repeaters at your base sta-
tion, make sure to assign them different numbers.
Ensure that other base stations close to the Gigaset Repeater are not in registration mode during
this process.
The left LED on the Gigaset Repeater flashes continually. Af-
ter a short while the LED stays on permanently indicating
that registration is complete and that the unit is ready for op-
eration.
The Gigaset Repeater can be registered independently of the length of an audible registra-
tion tone or a display at the base station.
If registration is not successful, the LED on the Gigaset Repeater will flash continuously. In
this case, repeat the procedure.

Installation
Once you have registered your Gigaset Repeater you can install it wherever you would like to extend the
reception range of your handsets. However, you must ensure that there is a power point at the place of
installation and that the left LED remains on constantly after the device has been switched on.
If the left LED flashes, the Gigaset Repeater is too far away from the base station or reception is being hin-
dered by thick walls or metal objects for example (e.g. radiators).
When looking for a suitable installation site, a useful guide is a handset which requires a good connection
with the base station at the Gigaset Repeater installation site.
To operate a handset for the firsttime in the extended Gigaset Repeater area, switch off the handset within
the new reception range of the Gigaset Repeater, but outside the reception range of the base station and
then switch it back on again:
LED display of functions
There are two green LEDs on the centre front of the housing. The left LED displays registration and opera-
tion function, the right LED displays the handset-traffic via this repeater:
Left LED states:
Dark power supply off
Flashing no link to base station
Continuous lighting normal link to base station
Intermittent flashing ready to register
Fast flashing manual registration: the repeater waits for input on the handset
Right LED states:
Dark no traffic
Flashing once one handset link via repeater
Flashing twice two handset link via repeater
If you are using more than one Gigaset Repeater in the area of your base station, you must keep
the Gigaset Repeaters at least 10m apart.

Using the verification tone
The verification tone enables you to establish whether or not the handset is working in the extended area
of the Gigaset Repeater. This tone is audible on the activated handset as long as the unit is connected to
the Gigaset Repeater.
Carry out the procedure described below on your Gigaset Repeater in order to switch the verification tone
on and off:
●$Switch on the unit (power plug inserted)
●Press the registration button for at least 20 seconds to switch on/off
