Push the battery pack connector in until it 3. clicks into place. Tug gently on the wires to make sure the battery pack is securely connected.

Connect the Charger

Plug the other end of the adapter into a 2. standard 240V AC power outlet.

Charge the handset completely (about 15 hours) before using it.

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/ charger. You can use the handset normally even if the charger 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 Registering.

After about 30 seconds, the handset display should say

Registration Complete.

Test the connection

Pick up the handset and press TALK. Make sure you get a dial tone. (Press END to hang up.)

If... Try...
you don't hear a dial tone - the display says Registration Failed	Making sure the handset is fully charged, then trying again.

Attaching 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. To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.

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.)

Base Coverage Area Handsets in this area always connect to the base. Base Overlap Coverage Area Handsets in this area might connect to the base or the charger. Repeater/charger Extended Coverage Area Handsets in this area always connect to the 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.

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 select Register Handset.

1. 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 for 3. 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.

WALL DESK

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 base 1. and make a call on the handset.

While on the call, carry 2. 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 where 3. the icon drops from 4 bars to 3 bars.

Continue walking away from the base. Make a note where the signal 4. 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 signal 5. 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.

Wall Mounting the Repeater/charger

If you want mount the charger on the wall, you need to adjust the

desk stand:

Pull the locking tab up and 1. back (see the black arrow in the illustration to the right), and slide the desk stand straight off.

Flip the stand over so the locking 2. tabs that say WALL are facing the charger with the arrows pointing down.

1. Align the stand with the notches on the charger.

Slide the stand onto the 4. notches until it clicks into place.

Insert two #10 screws into the 5. wall, 30 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 adapter cord 6 out of the way, place the charger over the screw heads and slide it down into place.

Switching back to the desk stand

If you want to switch back to using the charger on a desktop:

Remove the stand.1.

Rotate the stand so that the locking tabs that say DESK are facing the charger with the arrows pointing up.

Align the stand with the notches on the charger.3.

Slide the stand onto the notches until it clicks into place.4.

Battery Information

• 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, finish 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.co.nz for New Zealand model.
