Site Survey Mode - Panasonic KX-A405 Installation Manual

3 Using the Repeater

Site Survey Mode

This function can be used to measure the transmission quality, and identify problematic transmission areas of
the repeater installation. This function can be used when registered or de-registered.
WARNING
When installing or testing a product with an external AC adaptor, the AC adaptor should be plugged
into a wall outlet or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted
AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may cause it to become disconnected.
Note
•
The repeater's Site Survey mode works independently from the CS. This means that the CS does not
have to be placed into Site Survey mode.
•
When using more than 1 repeater in Site Survey mode simultaneously, please ensure repeaters are
set to different channels.
1.
Ensure that the repeater is turned off by disconnecting the AC adaptor.

Continue to hold down the PROGRAM button for 5 seconds.
The STATUS LED will flash red quickly.
Note
If you continue to hold down the PROGRAM button for 10 seconds, the repeater will enter
De-registration mode.

The STATUS LED will flash red to indicate the current channel number, and a carrier sense will start to

If the current channel is available, the STATUS LED will change to flash green.
Site Survey mode on the current channel is now operational.
Note
A carrier sense is performed regularly in Site Survey mode. If the selected channel is not available
(busy), the STATUS LED will flash red to indicate the channel number and the repeater will stop
transmitting.
