Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the SilverCrest SWR 300 A1 wireless repeater. The SilverCrest SWR 300
A1 increases the range of an existing wireless network. The integrated WPS function enables it to
be easily connected to a secured wireless network.
Intended use
This is an information technology device. It increases the range of an existing wireless network. It is
only designed for private use and not for industrial or commercial purposes. Furthermore, the
device may not be used outdoors or in tropical climates. This device meets all relevant norms and
standards in conjunction with CE conformity. In the event of any modification to the device that was
not approved by the manufacturer, compliance with these standards is no longer guaranteed. The
manufacturer does not accept any liability for any resulting damage or faults in such cases. Since a
standby mode would affect the intended operation, this function was not implemented. Please

Safety instructions
Before using the device for the first time, please read the following instructions carefully even if you
are familiar with using electronic devices. Store these instructions in a safe place for future
reference. If you pass on the device to someone else, be sure to always include these instructions.
This symbol indicates important information for safe operation of
the device and the safety of the user.
This symbol indicates other important information on the topic.
Operating environment
The device is not designed for use in environments with a high temperature or humidity (e.g.
bathrooms) or in extremely dusty conditions. Operating temperatures and operating air humidity:
5 °C to 35 °C, max. 85% rel. air humidity.
Please always maintain the device at a minimum distance of 20cm from the body to avoid
exposure to radio radiation.

Ensure that
no direct heat sources (e.g. heating) can affect the device;
no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device;
the device is not in the immediate vicinity of magnetic fields (e.g. speakers);
no fire sources (e.g. burning candles) are placed on or near the device;
no foreign objects penetrate the device;
contact with sprayed and dripping water and corrosive liquids is prevented and the device is
never operated near water; in particular it should never be immersed (do not place any objects
filled with liquids such as vases or drinks on or near the device);
the device is not subjected to any extreme temperature fluctuations, as this may result in moisture
caused by condensation and therefore a short circuit;
the device is never subjected to excessive shocks and vibrations;
Operational safety
Only connect the wireless repeater to a freely accessible mains socket so that it can be quickly
disconnected from the mains in the event of danger (smoke, fumes or smell of burning).
Disconnect the wireless repeater from the mains if the device will not be used for a prolonged
period (e.g. during holidays). Even if the device is not being used, it consumes electricity. This
minimises the risk of fire or smouldering which always exists when an electrical device is
connected to the mains power supply.
Always disconnect the wireless repeater from the mains power supply before a storm or
thunderstorm if there is the risk of lightning, as the wireless repeater can be irreparably damaged
by high voltage surges if lightning strikes.
Never use any adapter plugs or extension cables which are damaged or which do not comply
with valid safety standards.
Cables
Always handle the cables by the connector and do not pull on the cables themselves. Never place
furniture or other heavy objects on the cable and take care that the cable is not kinked, especially
near the plug and connection sockets. Never make knots in any of the cables or tie them together

with other cables. Ensure that all cables are placed so that no one can trip over them and they do
not cause an obstruction.
Children and persons with disabilities
Electrical devices do not belong in the hands of children. Persons with disabilities should also only
use electrical devices appropriately. Never allow children or persons with disabilities to use
electrical devices unsupervised. They may not recognise potential risks. Small parts can be fatal if
swallowed. Also always keep plastic packaging out of reach as it poses a suffocation risk.
Radio interface
Do not use the device on aircraft, in hospitals, operating rooms or in the vicinity of medical
electronic systems. The transmitted radio waves can impair the functionality of sensitive devices.
Keep the device at least 20cm away from any pacemakers since the proper functioning of the
pacemaker can be impaired by radio waves. The transmitted radio waves can cause interference in
hearing aids. Do not place the device in the vicinity of flammable gases or in an explosion-hazard
environment (e.g. paint shop) when the radio components are switched on since the transmitted
radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire. The range of the radio waves is dependent on
conditions in the surrounding environment. In case of data traffic via a wireless connection, it is also
possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data. Targa GmbH is not responsible for radio or
television interference caused by unauthorised changes to this device. In addition, Targa assumes
no responsibility for the replacement or exchange of connecting lines and devices not indicated by
Targa GmbH. Only the user himself is responsible for the elimination of interference caused by such
unauthorised changes and for the replacement or exchange of the devices.

Storage when not in use
If the device will not be used for a long period of time, disconnect the wireless repeater from the
mains power supply. Ensure that the storage temperature remains between -20 °C and 60 °C. The
humidity should not exceed 90% rel. air humidity.
Please note: the temperature range and relative air humidity for storage and use are quite different;
please see the information in the "Operating environment" section.

First use
Plug the wireless repeater into a properly installed power socket. The optimal position for the
wireless repeater is exactly in the middle between your router and the wireless devices which are to
be connected to the network using the wireless repeater. Test other locations if the wireless repeater
does not work there. There are two different ways to configure the wireless repeater. If your router
supports WPS, you can use this simple function to easily install the wireless repeater. If you wish to
use a router without a WPS function, you can connect the wireless repeater to your computer and
configure it using a LAN connection.

Configuring the wireless repeater with the WPS function
This is the simplest way to configure the wireless repeater. First check if your router supports WPS.
For further details, please read your router's user manual. Then simply press the WPS button (5) on
the wireless repeater. The WPS LED (3) will now flash for approx. 2 minutes. During this period,
please activate the WPS function on your router. The wireless repeater will automatically connect to
your router and carry out the complete set-up. The wireless repeater can then be used. The wireless
repeater can now be accessed using the SSID and password of your router.
By using WPS, WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is activated as
standard as long as this is supported by your router.
Multiple Wireless Access Points can be connected
together using WDS (Wireless Distribution System) in order to
achieve larger network coverage.
It is possible to configure multiple repeaters. These should be
configured one after the other.
If your router does not support WPS, you can also configure the wireless repeater manually.
Configuring the wireless repeater manually using a LAN
connection
You can also configure the wireless repeater using a network cable. Connect the network cable to
the LAN socket (6) of the wireless repeater. Insert the other end of the network cable into a free
LAN socket on your computer.
The following describes the set-up in Windows®7. The settings in other operating systems may
differ. To be able to establish a connection to the wireless repeater, your computer must
automatically obtain the IP address. Proceed as follows:
Turn on your computer.
Click on Start | Control Panel | View network status and tasks | LAN
connection | Properties | Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) | Properties.
Select Obtain an IP address automatically and click on OK.
Then close all opened windows.
