What to Watch Out For
Safety Instructions When working with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390, ob-
serve the following security instructions in order to protect
yourself and the FRITZ!Box from harm.
• Do not install the FRITZ!Box during an electrical
storm.
• Disconnect FRITZ!Box from the power supply during
electrical storms.
• Never let liquids get inside the FRITZ!Box. Otherwise,
electric shocks or short circuits may result.
• The FRITZ!Box is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not open the FRITZ!Box housing. The device con-
tains hazardous components and should only be
opened by authorized repair technicians.
Handling the
FRITZ!Box
You can either place FRITZ!Box on a horizontal surface or
mount it on a wall. Please note the following:
• Place or hang the FRITZ!Box in a dry location that is
free of dust and protected from direct sunlight.
For ideal operating conditions, mount the FRITZ!Box
on a wall with the cables connected on the bottom.
• Do not place FRITZ!Box on excessively heat-sensitive
surfaces, as the base of the device can heat up during normal operation.
• Make sure that the ventilation slits are unobstructed.
For this reason the FRITZ!Box should not be placed on
a carpet or on upholstered furniture. The ventilation
slits provide for air cooling of the FRITZ!Box.
• When connecting FRITZ!Box to your computer using
the network, remember to take the length of the cable into account.
8
Security and Handling
• If you would like to establish wireless connections
between FRITZ!Box and the computer, position the
device at a central location.
• Make sure to keep sufficient distance from potential
sources of interference like microwave devices or
electric devices with large metal housings.

2 FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390
An Overview
The FRITZ!Box connects your computers directly with your DSL or VDSL
line. Each connected computer can establish an Internet connection over
the FRITZ!Box. As a WLAN access point, FRITZ!Box offers you the possibility of connecting your computer to the DSL or VDSL line wirelessly.
The FRITZ!Box is a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) for making telephone
calls via the Internet and the fixed-line network (ISDN and analog).
PBX You can connect two analog telephones, fax machines or
answering machines to the FRITZ!Box. Up to eight ISDN telephony devices can be connected to the integrated ISDN
port.

Using Cordless
Tel epho nes
Thanks to the DECT function, the FRITZ!Box can be used as
a basis station for cordless telephones. Any cordless telephone that supports the DECT-GAP standard can be registered at the FRITZ!Box.
Connecting
Computers
Four computers can be connected directly to the FRITZ!Box
using the LAN ports.
You can also connect a network hub or switch to the LAN
ports so that even more computers can be connected to
FRITZ!Box.
WLAN Access Point The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN access point. All computers
equipped with a WLAN adapter can be wirelessly connected to the FRITZ!Box.

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390
Local Network All of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box consti-
tute a network and can share access to any files released
for file sharing.
Internet All of the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box can ac-
cess the Internet.
The FRITZ!Box works as a DSL router, making the Internet
connection available to all connected computers. All connected computers can then use the Internet connection at
the same time.
Firewall The FRITZ!Box is equipped with an integrated firewall. The
integrated firewall protects your network from attacks
from the Internet as long as the FRITZ!Box is operated as a
router.
USB Port The FRITZ!Box is equipped with two ports for USB devices,
to which you can connect USB storage devices (hard drive,
stick), a printer, one of the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks, a
USB hub or other devices (see “USB Hubs” from page 63).
The USB port supports the USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 standards.
If you use one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM, the
AVM Stick & Surf technology is at your disposal. Use
Stick & Surf to adopt the WLAN security settings from the
FRITZ!Box quickly and conveniently.
For connecting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server. Alternatively, the USB remote connection is available for the
use of printers.
Media Server An integrated media server makes music, image and video
files available in the local network. You can either save
these files directly in the integrated memory of the
FRITZ!Box or make them available via a USB memory stick
connected to the FRITZ!Box. A suitable playback device
linked to the local network can then play back these media contents. Any device compatible with the UPnP AV
standard can be used.
Network Devices Other network devices can also be connected to the net-
work ports of the FRITZ!Box, for instance game consoles.
