Q. What is the range of my GN 7170?
The GN 7170 has a range of up to 150 feet/45 meters in standard office environments. Factors
such as other electrical devices or office walls may compromise the GN 7170’s range.
Q. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base unit is flashing.
Provided your local telephone operator offers voice messaging services and that you subscribe to
these, the CHARGER/IN USE indicator flashes (when not in use) to indicate that you have a mes-
sage waiting. It stops flashing when the message has been reviewed.

The GN 7170’s headset may be used with other 2.5 mm-ready cordless or mobile phones, how-
ever, the GN 7170’s headset and cordless phone have been optimized for use with each other to
give you the best performance.
