1. Getting started

Location
Place your L7 TAM base within 6 feet of the mains power socket and 2 feet 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 3 feet away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your L7 TAM 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 900 feet 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 160 feet. Thick concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The
icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out of range of the base, the warning beep. The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base. Move closer to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do not connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully charged. Use only the power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.

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 TAM is now ready for use.
