The Diverse Repeater can be used onall BT Diverse Base Stations with theexception of the Diverse 1000. Up to sixRepeaters can be installed on a singlebase station and each Repeater cansupport up to 2 handsets each. Theregistration of Repeaters on the basestation does not reduce the number ofhandsets that can be registered to thebase station.

A typical arrangement is shown below

You can operate two handsets in thereception range of the repeater.

If you wish to operate more than twohandsets you must increase the numberof repeaters for the reception range.

Introduction

IMPORTANT NOTE

It is possible to roam between the repeaterand the base, however, call handover during

conversation is not always guaranteed.

IMPORTANT NOTE

It is not possible to further extend the rangein one direction by registering a second

repeater to the first repeater. All repeatersmust be within range of the base station asthe repeater can only be registered to a base

station and not another repeater.

NOTE

If you switch off a handset (or remove itsbatteries) or take it out of the reception rangeof both Repeater and base station the abovestep will need to be repeated for that handset.

This does not apply if using a Diverse ISDN.

NOTE

Blind spots (where signal is weak) cancause loss of signal. Avoiding blind spotswill reduce the risk of losing a call and

the necessity to re-introduce the handset tothe Repeater.

• Plug the Power Adaptor into themains socket.

• Switch on the mains power. TheRepeater LED should light up thenafter about 5 seconds the LED willflash off and on several times afterwhich it should remain permanentlyon. If the LED still continuesflashing it indicates either a poorreception from the base station (toofar away) or it was not registeredproperly with the base station.

• Ensure all your handsets have beenregistered to the same base stationas the Repeater.

• Turn the Repeater confidence toneson/off as required (see page 14).

• Switch on each of your handsets(one at a time) within the Repeaterreception area, outside the basereception area. The handsets shouldbring up their idle screen after a fewseconds of searching for a signal.

NOTE

If using more than one Repeater on a basestation you should ensure the Repeaters are

placed at least 10 metres apart.
