callers before you answer the phone, displays the time and date of each call, records up to 40
Caller ID messages sequentially and keeps records of missed calls while away).
The wireless GN 7170 also gives you full mobility in the office during your calls, increased work
productivity thanks to hands-free multitasking productivity and all the health benefits associated
with use of a headset.

2. Setting up
Before beginning installation, ensure that the following prerequisites and guidelines are noted.
2.1 Telephone jack requirements
To use the GN 7170, you need an RJ11C type modular telephone jack. If you don’t have a modular
jack, contact your corporate telephone network administrator and/or your local telephone service
provider.
Installation prerequisites
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightening storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone lines such as faxes, other phones
or modems.
2.2 Installation guidelines
• Install the GN 7170 near both a telephone (modular) jack and an electrical outlet.
• Avoid sources of noise and RF emission, such as a window by a busy street, such as electric motors, microwave ovens and fluorescent lighting, computer monitors and other cordless
phone.
• Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances, radiators and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.
• Avoid dusty locations.
About frequency interference. Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens or VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference,
the GN 7170’s base unit should not be placed near or on top of such appliances. If you experience interference, move your GN 7170’s base unit further away from such interference-causing
appliances.

About the GN 7170’s digital security system. Your GN 7170 uses a digital security system to provide protection against false ringing, unauthorized access and charges to your phone line. When
you place the handset into the base unit, the GN 7170 verifies its built-in security code. After a
power outage or battery change, place the cordless phone into the base unit for about 20 seconds
to automatically reset the built-in security code.
2.3 Connecting battery
Connect the battery by completing the following:
1. Remove the battery compartment door on the cordless phone.
2. Plug the battery cord into the jack located on the inside battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
2.4 Attaching belt clip
Attach the belt clip by completing the following:
1. Insert the sides of the belt clip into the slots on each side of
the handset.
2. Snap the ends of the belt clip into place.
2.5 Connecting AC/DC (electrical) power
Note: Before using your GN 7170, you must allow it to charge for
12 hours prior to first use. If you don’t fully charge the GN 7170, battery
performance will be compromised.
Do not connect the GN 7170’s telephone line to the modular jack
until the GN 7170 has fully charged for 12 hours.
To connect the electrical supply, complete the following:
1. Plug the AC/DC power adapter into the back of the GN 7170’s base unit.
2. Plug the other end of the AC/DC power adapter into an electrical outlet.
• The CHARGE/IN USE indicator will turn on, verifying that the battery is charging.
• The CHARGE/IN USE indicator will not turn on if the cordless phone is not placed
in the base correctly.
2.6 Connecting the telephone line and switching the unit on
To connect the telephone line and switch on the unit, complete the following:
1. Plug the GN 7170’s telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
bottom of the base.
2. Plug the other end of the GN 7170’s telephone line cord into a modular
jack in the wall.
3. Set the cordless phone RINGER switch to the ON position.
4. Place the cordless phone into the base unit for charging.

To assemble and connect the headset stand and headset to the cordless phone,
complete the following:
1. Insert the flat end of the stand into the slot on the bottom of
the base.
