Installing Your Phone Setup the Base W A L L Attach the stand Before you attach the stand, you have to decide if you want the phone to rest on a desk or hang on a wall. 111 For desktop use, turn the stand so the locking tabs that say Desk are facing the base with the arrows pointing up. OR For wall mount use, turn the stand so the locking tabs that say wall are facing the base with the arrows pointing down. 222 Align the stand with the notches on the base.
Connect the power and telephone cord(s) 111 Connect the base AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and route the cord as shown: For desktop use DC IN 9V PRIMAR For wall mount use Y LIN E TE L LI NE 2 DC IN 9V PRIM AR Y LIN E TE L LINE 2 222 Connect one of the included telephone cords to the PRIMARY LINE jack.

Place the main base on the wall Place the mounting slots (hole spacing is 100mm vertical) over the pins on the wall plate, and slide the base down to lock it into place.
Setup the Repeater/Charger(s) (if included) Connect the repeater/charger power cord 111 If your phone came with any accessory handsets and chargers, connect a charger AC adapter to each charger's DC IN 9V jack and set the plug into the notch as shown. (These adapters might already be connected.) 222 Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard 240V AC power outlet. Attach the stand 333 To attach the stand, you have to decide if you want the repeater to rest on a desk or hang on a wall.
Setup the Handset(s) Install the battery 111 Unpack all handsets, battery packs, and battery covers. If any handset has the battery cover already attached, press in on the notch and slide the cover down and off. 222 Line up the battery pack connector with the jack inside the handset. (The battery connector will only fit one way.) 333 Push the battery pack connector in until it clicks into place. Tug gently on the wires to make sure the battery pack is securely connected.
If... Try... a charge light doesn't turn on --reseating the handset. --checking the AC adapter connection. Charge all handsets completely (about 15 hours) before using them. When fully charged the battery will provide up to 8hrs talk time and 7 days standby time. Using the Belt Clip To attach the belt clip Line up the holes on each side of the handset. Insert the belt clip into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.
Test the Connection Pick up the handset from the base and press TALK/FLASH.. The phone should pick up line 1 automatically and change the display to show Talk , and you should hear a dial tone. When you get a dial tone, make a test call; press End to hang up. If... Try... the base display says Check or you don't hear a dial tone checking the connection between the base and the phone jack: make sure the cord is connected to PRIMARY LINE.
Using the Repeater How it works An XDECT R005 repeater can extend the range of your base in all directions, including up and down. The XDECT R005 repeater unit is also a charger for the accessory handset. Each handset will automatically connect to the repeater or the base, depending on which signal is stronger, and the handset operates exactly the same way whether it's connected to the base or to the repeater. The repeaters must be registered to the base before you can use them.
Repeaters can be up to 3 chain-links (maximum) from the base Example of coverage area with 6 repeaters (maximum total) You can roam anywhere within range of the base or the repeater(s) and make and receive calls as usual from your handsets. If you want to use the repeater with a new base, simply register the repeater to the new base (see page 50). The repeater overwrites its own link to the base.
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: 111 Stand near the base and make a call on the handset. 222 While on the call, carry the handset away from the base towards the general area where you want to put the repeater. 333 Watch the signal strength icon on the handset. Make a note where the icon drops from 4 bars to 3 bars.
