Range Extender
I live on a Farm and previously was unable to get a signal from my phone due to
the stone walls in the farm buildings. Now with this positioned in an upstairs window I get a good signal
and saves me having to run back to the house to take the call!
no better range 
I tried the booster in diferent locations but could not get a better signel strength
This DECT Repeater works well and not too expensive.
Setting up to work with my set of Panasonic KX-TG7223 phones would have been easier with better instructions. Once working it extended the range of the phones considerably so phones work anywhere in the house which is large and old with many walls 2 or 3 feet thick.
Works but a nightmare to set up. Instructions for setting it up with the Panasonic KX-TG8424 base station
I bought the range extender as my Panasonic KX-TG8424 phones' range is pretty poor. This range extender was suggested to boost the signal by Amazon and the price and reviews of the Panasonic own brand range extender made that one unappealing.
The range extender is much smaller than I expected. Which is good. It is 12cm x 12cm. A plain black plastic rectangle with a single red LED. The box contains the range extender, the power supply and a screw to fix it to the wall.
Getting it working has taken 3 hours of trial and error, using the complicated reset instructions. For those of you with the KX-TG8424's I thought I would put down how I got the range extender working. The auto registration doesn't work with them.
1. Set the range extender up near the unit then move it to its final destination later. My phones have a longer range than the extender. DO NOT PLUG IT IN YET!
2. First of all go to the phone main menu on the Panasonics, then to "base unit set up" and turn on the "Repeater". It is the last option there.
3. Now plug the power into the range extender for between 1-5 seconds and turn it off again. Then turn it back on. The LED slowly flashes and it is now in registration mode.
4. Go to the phone base unit and press and hold the PAGE button (bottom right on the panel) The base unit will beep continuously.
5. The LED on the extender flashes frantically. Take a handset, push and hold the DIAL (green) button until the LED stops flashing then press 5 (1-4 are already taken by the handsets if you have the 4 set) The LED on the extender will flash 5 times (I forgot to count but it worked). Then press * and hang up.
6. The repeater will restart and then the LED comes on and stays on.
7. Now it is done. Next move the repeater to where you want to extend the range. If it is in range the LED will remain continuously on when you plug it in. If it slowly flashes it is out of range so move it closer to the base unit until the light stays on.
8. Next, when you try out your new range you will hear a squeaky beeping noise every now and again. You begin to think the extender is broken, how can you live with this, then you read the manual and it is the extender telling you it is working. Go back to the repeater, switch it off. Switch it on for 1-5 seconds. Switch it off again. Switch it on again. The LED slowly flashes. Switch it off again. Switch it on again and there is now no tone. DONE!
All of the above is scattered throughout the manual but I thought it might help to steer you to what works for the Panasonic handsets.
Hope the above is of some help!
RTX 4002D DECT Range Extender 
Unable to make this product work successfully in conjunction with three Panasonic KX-TG6423 digital cordless telephone answering system. There was ultimately no detectable increase in range at all and, initially, it was very difficult indeed to set up the system to operate or behave exactly in the manner described in both the Panasonic and RTX operation instructions. The device's LED light only behaved as the instructions indicated it should after innumerable (well over a dozen) repeated attempts to set it up.
The Panasonic instructions do state that only Panasonic Range Extenders should be used with its products but the RTX documents state that it should work with any DECT system. Most unsatisfied with this product.
