Important Safety Instructions!
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and injury to persons, including the
following:
This unit is NOT waterproof.
DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen

sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There

Registering the Handset
The accessory handset will not work until you register it to
a base! Registering the handset is a separate process from
registering the Repeater. You can use the handset normally
even if the repeater is not registered.
Compatible bases
This handset is designed for use with Uniden's XDECT R055 base.
For the most up-to-date list of compatible bases for this handset, see
our website.
Register the handset
Place the handset in the base. The display should say Handset

Using the Repeater
How it Works
The XDECT R006 repeater works to extend the range of the XDECT
R055 base in just the same way as the repeater/charger unit. The
only difference is the XDECT R006 repeater and handset-charger
are separate units. Refer to your XDECT R055 owner's manual page
8 for more information on how repeaters work.
To use the repeater function, you must register the repeater to

an XDECT R055 base. (Any repeaters that came packaged with
the base are already registered to that base for you.)
An XDECT R055 base can support up to six XDECT R006

repeaters, including any that were supplied with your phone.
Usually, you can't tell when a handset switches between the

base and the repeater in the middle of a call, but sometimes, you
might notice a brief pause in your conversation.
Connect the Repeater
Remove the repeater Plug Cover from the

plug section.
Connect the AC adapter to the repeater's

DC IN 9V jack and route the cord as
shown.
Place the repeater Plug Cover over the

plug section and slide into place. Plug the
other end of the adapter into a standard 240V AC power outlet.

Registering the Repeater
Registering the Repeater is a separate process from registering
the handset.
On the base, open the menu and select1.
Register Handset .
2. On the bottom of the repeater,
press and hold the registration
button until the
LINK
light starts to
blink (about 2 seconds).
Release the button and wait for3.
the
LINK
light to turn on and steady
(this can take about 90 seconds).
If the
LINK
light doesn't
turn on,
disconnect
the repeater's AC adapter. Wait about ten
seconds, then try these steps again.
Some important things to remember:
Only register one repeater at a time. If

more than one repeater is in registration
mode at the same time, they can interfere
with each other.
If you want to use the repeater with a different base, just register

the repeater to the new base. The repeater automatically erases
the link to the old base when it registers to the new one.
Only register repeaters to one base at a time. If more than one

base is in registration mode at the same time, you can't control
which base the repeater registers to.
Placing the Repeater
Here are a few tips for placing your repeater so that you get the
clearest signal and the maximum range:
Make sure you have good reception from the base.

Put the repeater
at least 10m away from the base or any other
repeater. (If you put the repeater on a different floor from the
base, don't forget to allow 10m vertically, also.)
If possible, mount the repeater on the wall.

Picking the best spot
The best spot for the repeater
is as far from the base as
possible while still
maintaining a good signal,
or near the edge of the
base’s coverage area. To
find the edge of the
coverage area:
Stand near the base1.
and make a call on the
handset.
While on the call, carry2.
the handset away
from the base towards the general area where you want to put the
repeater.
Watch the signal strength icon on the handset. Make a note where3.
the icon drops from 4 bars to 3 bars.
Continue walking away from the base. Make a note where the signal4.
strength icon drops from 3 bars to 2 or if you start to hear noise on
the line (which indicates the signal is getting weaker).
Place the repeater anywhere inside the range where the signal5.
strength icon showed 3 bars and the handset had a clear signal with
no noise.
Testing the location
Connect the repeater's AC adapter and make sure the
LINK
light
comes on steadily. If the light flashes, the repeater is not getting a
good signal from the base. The repeater may be too far away from
the base, there may be interference from electronic devices, or the
signal might be blocked by thick walls or metal objects. Try moving
the repeater to another location.

Wall Mounting the Repeater
You can mount the repeater directly to a wall using the horizontally
aligned mounting slots at the back of the repeater unit. Before doing
this consider the following:
Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting

location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into
the wall.
Mount the repeater within distance of a working 240V AC power

outlet.
Note! The Repeater unit is NOT waterproof. If mounted onto
an outside wall place under an eave or roof overhang where it
is protected from direct weather conditions, DO NOT place in
direct sunlight.
Insert the supplied two #101.
screws into the wall, 60 mm
apart. (For best results, use
a level to ensure the screws
are even.) Remember to use
appropriate anchors for the
wall material.
Keeping the AC adapter2.
cord out of the way, place
the repeater over the screw
heads and slide it down into
place.
Desk Mount the Repeater
You can also desk mount the
repeater by inserting the desk mount stand
into the slots at the back of the unit.

Battery Information
Fully charged, the battery should provide about 8 hours of talk time and about 7 days

of standby time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to
keep it fully charged.
Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset

shows a low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display:
if you see the low battery alert, nish your conversation as quickly as possible and
return the handset to the cradle. If the handset is in standby, none of the keys will
operate.
With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when

the talk time becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement
battery, visit the website; www.uniden.com.au for Australian model or www.uniden.
