1. Hold the handset and stand near the base.
2. Make a call, and carry the handset away from
the base.
3. Make a note where you start to hear noise on
the line, which indicates the signal is getting
weaker.
The optimum location for the repeater is as far from
the base as possible while still maintaining a good
signal, or just inside the location where the noise
became noticeable.
Here are a few tips for placing repeaters:
Choose a raised position for both the base station and repeater
wherever possible.
When positioning the repeater, avoid obstacles that can interfere
with radio transmission such as thick wall and metal structures that
may be in the coverage area between the base station and repeater.
Avoid interference from other electrical appliances such as micro-
wave ovens, Hi-Fi equipment, computers etc.
Keep a minimum of 10 meters between multiple repeaters to avoid
coverage area overlapping.

Registering the Repeater
Registration cannot be performed if the repeater is already registered to
one base station. In this case, de-register the repeater before attempting
registration. For more information, refer to “De-registration”.
Registration
1. Plug the repeater into a AC outlet.
Power LED is green and DECT LED is slowly flashing red.
2. Enable the repeater mode on the handset at the path: Settings->
System Settings->Repeater Mode.
3. Set base station in registration mode (Long press paging key on
the base station till the first LED flashes).
If base station is found, DECT LED will fast flash green.
When DECT LED is on, registration to base station is successful
(green: good DECT link).
Note: You cannot set the base station in registration mode, if there are 5 handsets
registered on the base station.

Introduction
Yealink DECT repeater RT20U is designed in
accordance with Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunication (DECT) standard. It can be
deployed to extend the range of the Yealink IP DECT
phone (e.g., W52P, W56P) to cover areas where
reception was previously not available. All the usual
handset functions are supported by the base station
in the extended radio range.
The repeater, base station and cordless handset
employ wireless connection. Signals are exchanged
without acoustical and visual differences.
3
Multiple Repeaters
Up to 5 repeaters can be registered to one base station to extend available
reception range for all registered handsets. All repeaters must be installed
within the base station coverage area (up to 300m in unobstructed
outdoor areas and up to 50m inside buildings), as shown in the figure
below. It is not possible to install the repeaters in series or “daisy-chain”.
If the DECT link quality of RT20U is in excellent-to-good condition, you can
register up to 5 handsets to your base station and the base station can
handle a maximum of 4 calls at one time.

The repeater can be used to extend the coverage
range in all directions, allowing several floors to be
covered. The automatic handover process is seamless.
If the repeater is placed correctly (overlapping the
coverage area of the base station), the handsets can
move freely within the total coverage area while on a
call.
