Functions that can be used when using a DECT repeater
You can register any commercially available DECT repeater from another manufacturer to the FRITZ!Box to extend the range of the DECT radio network. For technical reasons, however, not all of the convenience functions offered by your FRITZ!Fon are then available.
Important:The following restrictions do not apply if you use a FRITZ!DECT Repeater to extend the DECT range. Then you can use all of the comfort functions with your FRITZ!Fon except for "DECT Eco".
1 Functions that can be used
- Establishing and ending telephone calls

- Reading email
2 Functions that cannot be used

- Calls in HD (HD Telephony)
