1. Getting started

Location

Place your L7 base within 2 meters of the mains power socket and 1.8 meters from
the telephone wall socket. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible. Make sure that it is at least 1 meter away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your L7 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you
place the base. Placing it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

HANDSET RANGE

The unit has a range of up to 300 meters outdoors when there is a clear line of
sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and
handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base indoors and the handset
either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 meters. Thick
concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.

If you hear a warning beep every 30 seconds during a call, you need to recharge
the handset before you can use it again.

When charging,

BATTERY PERFORMANCE

In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 10 hours talk time or
up to 150 hours standby time on a single charge.

Note that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been put to
normal use for several days.

To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a
few hours at a time.

Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as
possible.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear
out, giving the handset less talk / standby time. Eventually they will need to be
replaced.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about
6–8 hours a day.

Date and time

If you have subscribed to a Caller ID Service, the date and time is set automatically
for all handsets when you receive your first call.

If you do not have a Caller ID service, you can set the date and time manually (see
chapter “Settings, Set the date and time”).

Your L7 is now ready for use.
