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 Repeater/ charger. You can use the handset
normally even if the charger is not registered.

For the most up-to-date list of compatible bases for this handset, see

Using the Repeater/Charger
How it Works
The XDECT R005 repeater/charger extends the range of your base
in all directions, including up and down. Each handset will
automatically connect to the repeater/charger or the base,
depending on which signal is stronger. (The handset operates
exactly the same way whether it's connected to the base or to the
repeater/charger.)
To use the charger's repeater function, you must register the

charger to an XDECT R055 base. (Any repeater/chargers that
came packaged with the base are already registered to that base
for you.)
An XDECT R055 base can support up to six XDECT R005

repeater/chargers, including any that were supplied with your
phone.
Usually, you can't tell when a handset switches between the

base and the repeater/charger in the middle of a call, but
sometimes, you might notice a brief pause in your conversation.
Base Coverage Area
Handsets in this area always
connect to the base.
Overlap Coverage
Area
Handsets in this
area might connect

charger.
Extended Coverage Area

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

Picking the best spot
The best spot for the repeater/
charger 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
charger.
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 charger 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 charger's AC adapter and make sure the
LINK
light
comes on steadily. If the light flashes, the repeater/charger is not
getting a good signal from the base. The charger 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 charger to another location.
