Repeater manual

About Repeater

  • A repeater is a device that extends the transmission range by relaying Glow signals in areas where the signal would otherwise not reach.
  • Repeaters offer two modes: Normal Mode and Long-Range Mode.
  • To use Long-Range Mode, all Glow R, Glow C, and repeater units must be set to Long-Range Mode.
  • You cannot mix Normal Mode and Long-Range Mode devices.
  • While Long-Range Mode extends the transmission range up to a maximum of 1 km, it reduces the communication speed by half to 250 kbps and introduces latency.
  • Please select the appropriate mode based on your specific situation.

Mode switching

  • If you turn on the power normally, it will start up in standard mode.
  • In standard mode, the background color of the title area at the top is white.
  • If you turn on the power while pressing the button on the LCD display area, it will enter long-range mode.
  • Keep the button pressed while turning on the power, and release it once “LONG RANGE MODE” appears on the display.
  • When switched to long-range mode, the background color of the title area changes to orange.
  • Please verify that the title area background color is orange on all connected Glow C/Glow R units.
