Safety precautions
Contents of the package
•1 Repeater HX
•1 power supply unit for Repeater HX
•1 user guide
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of a power failure it
is also not possible to make emergency calls.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g. paint shops).
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environ-
ment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Specifica-
tions"). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries,
which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these
could interfere with other wireless services.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery. If you use a medical
device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able to
advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high fre-
quency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Specifications").

Introduction
ENGLISH
Introduction
With the Gigaset Repeater, you can extend the range and reception strength of your base sta-
tion. Up to 6 Gigaset Repeater units can be used with a single base station. The maximum num-
ber depends on your base station and the type of DECT transmission (encrypted/unencrypted).
A maximum of 2 conversations can be held at the same time within the extended reception
range.
The number of handsets that can be registered to your base station is not affected by the Gigaset
Repeater.
Features of the Repeater HX:
•Encrypted calls
•Calls over a broadband connection (for internal or VoIP calls)
•Two repeaters per base for encrypted calls
•Six repeaters per base for unencrypted calls
Not all DECT phones support all features of the Repeater HX.
Details on the functionality of the Repeater HX on various Gigaset bases and routers can be
found on www.gigaset.com/compatibility
Repeater mode is not possible when ECO DECT is enabled on the base (radiation-free
or reduced range).

Preparing
Repeater HX / ALL IM en / A31008-N603-R101-1-SU19 / Grep-eng_HX.fm / 2/14/19
Overview
Preparing
Please refer to the user guide for your phone/router to check whether your base is suitable for
operating the repeater and how to prepare it for registering the repeater.
Before starting registration, position the Gigaset Repeater directly adjacent to the base station
and to a power connection. If you are already using Gigaset Repeaters, these must be switched
on and positioned close to the base station for this registration procedure.
Automatic registration
Carry out the following steps:
¤Switch on Gigaset Repeater: Connect the power supply unit to a plug socket. Following this,
the device will enter registration mode for 5 minutes.
¤Prepare the base station for registering the repeater, in the same way as you would to man-
ually register a handset. Please refer to the operating instructions for your base station.
The repeater will automatically be registered to the base station. The LEDs will indicate whether
registration was successful or unsuccessful, see page 5.
De-registration
It may be necessary to de-register the repeater, for example if it has to be replaced. Information
about this can be found in the operating instructions of your base station, or via the system
menu of your phone e.g. C430/C430A, C530/C530A, CL660/CL660A, E630/E630A. For phones
without a repeater system menu, the repeater can be de-registered using the Reset Repeater
procedure, see page 6.
Ensure that no other base stations in registration mode are located close to the
Gigaset Repeater during this procedure.
Two function lights (LEDs) indicate the different operating modes
(Explanation see page 5).

Operation
ENGLISH
Installation
Once registration has been carried out successfully, you can install the Gigaset Repeater wher-
ever 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 hindered 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
first time 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.
Operation

Left LED: display registration and operation function

If you are using more than one Gigaset Repeater in the area of your base station, you
must keep the Gigaset Repeaters at least 10 m apart.

Reset repeater
If registration was not successful or re-registration has to be carried out for another reason, you
can reset the repeater as follows.
¤Press repeater button (left LED flashes slowly).
¤Release repeater button once the left LED flashes quickly (after approximately 10 seconds).
The repeater is ready for registration once again.
Check the accessibility of a handset using a verification tone
The verification tone enables you to establish whether or not the handset is working in the
extended area, see page 5 of the Gigaset Repeater. This tone is audible on the handset every 2.5
seconds as long as a line is allocated.
Proceed as follows:
Miscellaneous
Troubleshooting
Repeater: ¤To switch on the verification tone:
Press repeater button until the right LED lights up (after approximately
20 seconds).
¤To switch off the verification tone again:
Press repeater button again until the right LED goes out (after approximately
20 seconds).
Handset: ¤Allocate line (hold down call answer button).
¤When you hear the verification tone, you are in the extended reception area.
If you don't hear a verification tone, move towards the repeater with the
handset until you hear it.

Care
Wipe the device with a damp cloth or an antistatic cloth. Do not use solvents or microfibre
cloths.
Never use a dry cloth; this can cause static.
In rare cases, contact with chemical substances can cause changes to the device’s exterior. Due
to the wide variety of chemical products available on the market, it was not possible to test all
substances.
Impairments in high-gloss finishes can be carefully removed using display polishes for mobile
phones.

If you need more repeaters to relay
the base station, please note that you
can run up to 6 repeaters, if encryp-
tion is deactivated.
To deactivate encryption, all regis-
tered repeaters must first be de-regis-
tered. You can then deactivate
encryption and register your repeat-
ers again.
