Setting Up Your Telephone - Hitachi L3200 Manual

Setting up your telephone

Connection and conditions
for use
You can connect your L3200 to a
direct exchange line (DEL), a line
connected to a local exchange,
with its own phone number; to an
extension socket connected to a
DEL; or to an extension on an
approved compatible PBX.
Do not connect the L3200 as an
extension to a payphone.

How many phones can you
connect?
The ringer equivalence numbers
(RENs) of all instruments (phones,
fax machines, etc.) connected to an
exchange line must not add up to
more than 4, otherwise, one or more
of them may not ring and/or answer
calls correctly. The L3200 has a
REN of 1, and most other telephones
have a REN of 1unless marked
otherwise.
Radio signals between
handset and base unit
To use your handset and base unit
together, you must be able to
establish a radio link between them.
Be aware that:
1. Sitting the base unit as high as
possible will give better results,
in a two-storey house, the best
position may be on the first-floor
landing.
2. Any large metal object, like a
fridge, a mirror or a filing cabinet,
between the handset and base
unit may block the radio signal.
3. Other solid structures, like walls,
may reduce the signal strength.
Choosing a site for the base
unit
The base unit should be placed on
a level surface, in a position where:
1. The mains adapter plug will reach
a 230 V AC switched mains supply
socket; never try to lengthen the
mains power cable.
2. The telephone cable will reach
your telephone line socket or
extension socket.
3. It is not close to another
telephone, this can cause radio
interference.
4. It is not close to a sink, bath or
shower, or anywhere else where
it might get wet.
5. It is not close to other electrical
equipment, fridges, washing
machines, microwave ovens, TVs,
fluorescent lights, etc.
