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. Any repeaters that come packaged with the base are
already registered to that base. For instructions on registering
repeaters to the base, see page 50.
Note: Base range (grey
area) and repeater range
(dotted outline around
repeater) is represented
here as circular. Actual
coverage area will vary
depending on environment.
Your base supports a
total of six
XDECTR005
repeaters, including
any that were supplied
with your phone.

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.
Placing repeaters
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
For best performance put the repeater at least 10m away from
the base or any other repeater. (If you install 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.
XDECT R055 OM.indd 9 22/9/11 2:16:24 PM
10
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 base 1.
and make a call on
the handset.
While on the call, 2.
carry the handset
away from the base
towards the general
area where you want
to put the repeater.
Watch the signal 3.
strength icon on the
handset. Make a
note where the icon
drops from 4 bars to
3 bars.
Continue walking 4.
away from the base.
Make a note where the signal 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 signal 5.
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 and steady. If the light flashes, the repeater
is not getting a good signal. 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.

Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name
in the phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters
printed on the number keys. Here's how it works:
The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key.
For example, if you press the number key
2
once, the phone
enters the letter
A
. Press
2
twice for
B
, and three times for
C
.
If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the
same letter sequence with small letters. If you press
2
four times
in a row, the phone enters
a
(small letter). Press
2
five times for
b
,
and six times for
c
.
If you see the icon
[Aa]
in the display, the phone enters capital
letters first (
A B C
), then small letters (
a b c
), then the number on
the key (
2
). The icon
[aA]
means the phone starts at the small
letters, so it enters small letters first, then the number on the key,
then capital letters.
The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and
any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first
letter, then use
CALLER ID/RIGHT
to move the cursor to the next
position to enter the second letter.
Switch between capital
and small letters
Press .

Using the Menus
The menus are designed to be as easy as possible. Some users don't
even need the manual once they know how to perform these actions:

Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets
to give you some useful multi-station features. (A station can be any
cordless handset or the base.) You must have at least one accessory
handset to use the features in this section.
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six XDECT R005 accessory
handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone.
Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory
handsets: please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you
can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a
Handset
not registered
message. For instructions on registering handsets to
this base, see page 49 or refer to the manual that came with the
accessory handset.
Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are
already registered to that base for you.
If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset
it so you can register it to a new base (see page 49 for XDECT
R005 handsets).
Using Multi-Station Conference Calling
When an outside call
comes in on either line,
the base and four
cordless handsets can
join in a six-way
conference call with the
outside caller.
To join a call in progress,
just connect to the active
line (press
LINE1
or
LINE2
).
XDECT R055 OM.indd 33 22/9/11 2:16:45 PM
34
To leave a conference call, hang up normally; all other stations
remains connected to the call.
If you conference line 1 and line 2 together (see page
25), the
base and four cordless handsets can hold a seven-way call with
both outside callers at the same time.
You can also use the speakerphone for a conference call, just like
you can with a normal call.
Using Privacy Mode
You can prevent other stations from joining a call. Start your call as
usual, then press
MENU
and select
Call Privacy
. When you hang up,
privacy mode turns off automatically.
As long you have privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt
your call (you'll see a

Whenever the phone is in standby, you can make an intercom call
between stations without using the phone line.
You can make an intercom call from any station, but only two
stations can be in an intercom call at any time.
If an outside call comes in during an intercom call, the phone
shows the CID information. If the other station hasn't answered
the page, the phone cancels the page so you can answer the

Using Special Features
Using Do Not Disturb
The

shows
Do Not Disturb

If you turn the answering system off while DND is on, the phone turns
off DND along with the answering system.
Using Call Block
If you subscribe to Caller ID, you can block incoming calls by adding
numbers to the call block list.
When either line receives a call, the phone compares the received
phone number to the numbers on the call block list. If the phone
number is on the list, the phone replaces the caller's name with
Call Blocked
and disconnects the call. (The caller hears a reject
message.)
The call block list holds 20 entries; this list applies to all stations
and both lines.
You can add a number to the call block list through the CID list
options (select
Add Call Block
), or through the
Call Blocking
menu
(select
New Entry
).
Only one station can edit the call block list at a time.

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be blocked by
large metal objects or walls; you might also be too far from the base,
or the handset’s battery may be weak.
Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the
base to see if the sound gets louder.
Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
Try adjusting the earpiece volume.
Noise or Static On The Line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a
cordless phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
XDECT R055 OM.indd 47 22/9/11 2:16:49 PM
48
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless
headphones or
speakers
large fluorescent light
fixtures (especially if
they give off a buzzing
noise)
other services that
use your phone line,
like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or
broadband Internet
service
Here are some hints for when the static is...
on 1 handset or in 1 location: on all handsets or in all locations:
Check nearby for one of the common -
interference sources.
Try moving the handset away from a -
suspected source, or try moving the
suspected source so it’s not between
the handset and the base.
Try moving closer to the base. There -
is always more noise at the edges
of the base's range. If the handset
displays an
Out of Range
message,
you need to move closer to the base.
Check near the base for the source -
of interference.
Try moving the base away from a -
suspected source, or turn off the
source if possible.
If the base has an adjustable -
antenna, try raising the antenna so
it stands straight up.
If you have any service that uses -
the phone line, you might need a
filter (see below).
Installing a line filter or DSL filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet
services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of
these services -DSL- often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or
telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who
installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not,
call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.
Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
If you have a hearing aid equipped with
a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction
between the hearing aid and digital cordless
phones can cause noise in the handset. If
you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have
problems with noise on the line, try turning
on
T-coil
mode. Open the menu; select
Handset Setup
, then select
T-coil
.
Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’s
talk time; make sure to watch the battery
status and keep the battery charged.

Registering Repeaters
If you are having trouble with a repeater or if you want to replace one,
you need to register the repeater to the base.
TIP: Connect the repeater close to the base for easy access to the
necessary buttons and indicators. Locate the repeater in the desired
position after registration is complete.

On the bottom of the repeater you 2.
want to register, press and hold the
registration button until the
LINK
light
blinks rapidly.
In about 90 seconds, the 3. LINK light on
the repeater will turn on. The repeater has
been registered to the base.
If the LINK light doesn't turn on, try these steps again.
- Only register one repeater at a time. If more than one repeater
is in registration mode at the same time then they can interfere
with each other.
- Only register a repeater to one base at a time. If more than one
base is in registration mode at the same time then you can't
control which base the repeater registers to.

Each of these bases can support up to two DRX402 Ultra-
Range chargers, including any that were supplied with
your phone.
Usually, you can't tell when a handset switches between
the base and the charger in the middle of a call, but
sometimes, you might notice a brief pause in your
conversation.
Registering the Ultra-Range charger
Registering the Ultra-Range 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
.
On the bottom of the Ultra-
Range charger, press and
hold the registration button
until the
LINk
light starts to

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.

Handling Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the
exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid, and use as
normal.
If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can
be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery
compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:
Handset Base
Remove the battery cover and disconnect the 1.
battery.
Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery 2.
disconnected and the cover off for ventilation.
After the handset dries, reconnect the battery 3.
pack and replace the cover. Recharge the
battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.
Disconnect the AC 1.
adapter to cut off the
power.
Disconnect the 2.
telephone cord.
Let dry for at least 3 days 3.
before reconnecting.
IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while recharging
the battery pack to avoid charge interruption.
CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up
the drying process. This will cause permanent damage
to the handset, base and the microwave oven.

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.co.nz for New Zealand model.
