Safety Instructions
Before connecting and starting operation of the FRITZ!Box 7369, ob-
serve the following security instructions in order to protect yourself
and the FRITZ!Box from harm.
General Security Information
•The FRITZ!Box has no on/off switch. Therefore it must al-
ways be possible to disconnect the FRITZ!Box from the
power supply.
–Insert the power supply unit of the FRITZ!Box into an
electrical outlet that is easy to reach.
•Overloaded outlets, extension cords and power strips
can lead to fires or electric shocks.
–Avoid using socket strips and extension cords if at all
possible.
–Do not connect multiple extension cords or socket
strips to each other.
•Damage to electric wiring or gas or water pipes during
drilling can present a significant danger.
–Before mounting the FRITZ!Box on the wall, make
sure that there are no electrical lines, gas or water
pipes located where you need to drill the holes. If
necessary, check the site with a pipe detector or con-
sult with qualified experts.
•Durch Wärmestau kann es zu einer Überhitzung der
FRITZ!Box kommen. Dies kann zu Schäden an der
FRITZ!Box führen.
–Provide for sufficient air circulation around the
FRITZ!Box.
–Make sure that the ventilation slits on the FRITZ!Box
housing are always unobstructed.
–The FRITZ!Box should not be placed on a carpet or on
upholstered furniture.
–Do not cover the FRITZ!Box.

FRITZ!Box 7369 9
•The base of the FRITZ!Box can heat up during normal op-
eration. This heat can cause damage to heat-sensitive
surfaces.
–Do not place the FRITZ!Box on heat-sensitive surfac-
es.
•During electrical storms, lightning and electrical surges
present a danger to connected electrical devices.
–Do not install the FRITZ!Box during an electrical
storm.
–During a storm, disconnect the FRITZ!Box from the
power supply and from the DSL or VDSL line.
•Moisture and liquids that find their way into the
FRITZ!Box can cause electric shocks or short circuits.
–Only use the FRITZ!Box indoors.
–Never let liquids get inside the FRITZ!Box.
•The FRITZ!Box contains hazardous components and
should only be opened by authorized repair technicians.
–Do not open the FRITZ!Box housing.
–If the FRITZ!Box needs to be repaired, please take it
to a specialized vendor.
•Dust, moisture and vapors as well as caustic cleaners or
solvents can damage the FRITZ!Box.
–Protect the FRITZ!Box from dust, moisture and fumes.
–Remove the FRITZ!Box from the mains before clean-
ing.
–Clean the FRITZ!Box with a slightly moist, lint-free
cloth.
Information on Interference
Radio interference can be generated by every device that
emits electromagnetic signals. With so many radio waves
from transmitting and receiving devices, interference can oc-
cur when radio waves overlap.

FRITZ!Box 7369 10
•Do not use the FRITZ!Box in areas where the use of radio
devices is prohibited. Obey any relevant warning signs
and instructions from authorized persons.
•Follow any instructions to switch off radio devices in
hospitals, outpatient treatment centers, medical practic-
es or similar facilities. These requests are issued to pro-
tect sensitive medical equipment from potential interfer-
ence. Install and operate your FRITZ!Box at a sufficient
distance, and avoid areas in which the use of radio
equipment is prohibited.
•Consult your doctor and the manufacturer about whether
any medical devices (pacemaker, hearing aid, electroni-
cally controlled implants, etc.) could be affected by in-
terference from your FRITZ!Box. The manufacturers of
pacemakers recommend maintaining a distance of at
least 15 cm in order to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker.
Security Information on Electromagnetic Fields
The FRITZ!Box receives and transmits radio waves during op-
eration. The FRITZ!Box was designed and constructed to com-
ply with the threshold values for the exposition of radio
waves recommended by the International Commission on
Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
This directive was formulated by independent scientific orga-
nizations after regular and careful evaluation of scientific
studies. It includes a large safety margin in order to ensure
the safety of all persons, regardless of their age and health.
For devices mounted in a fixed position that have their own
power connection, like the FRITZ!Box, compliance with the
minimum distance of 20 cm defined in the ICNIRP guideline
has been certified (the measurements were conducted in ac-
cordance with the European EN 50385 standard).
If the minimum distance of 20 cm is not complied with, the
threshold values of the corresponding directive may be ex-
ceeded.

FRITZ!Box 7369 11
Security Instructions for Operation of the FRITZ!Box in
Potentially Explosive Environments
Under unfavorable conditions, radio waves can cause fires or
explosions in explosive environments.
•Do not install and operate your FRITZ!Box in the vicinity
of flammable gases and explosive environments like re-
fueling areas, below-deck areas of ships, transport and
storage facilities for fuels or chemicals, or paintshops,
or areas in which the air contains chemicals or particles
like grain, dust or metal powder.
•In areas with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
instructions to switch off high-frequency devices.
•Do not install and operate your FRITZ!Box in the vicinity
of blasting sites.
•In the vicinity of blasting sites, obey all instructions and
signs directing you to “switch off radio sets” or “elec-
tronic devices” in order to prevent potential disturbance
to demolition and ignition systems.

The FRITZ!Box is equipped with ports for computers, tele-
phones and USB devices and supports the wireless technolo-
gies wireless LAN (WiFi) and DECT. You can use the FRITZ!Box
as a wireless LAN access point for wireless devices like note-
books, tablets or smartphones and as a DECT base station for
your cordless telephones.
A connected telephone uses the FRITZ!Box as a PBX.
The FRITZ!Box integrates connected computers and network
devices into your private home network. The devices can ex-
change data with each other and enjoy shared access to USB
hard drives, USB printers and other USB devices. The
FRITZ!Box transmits music, video and image files to suitable
playback devices in the home network.
You can expand the scope of functions of your FRITZ!Box with
AVM smart home devices for home automation.
Settings for the FRITZ!Box and for your private network are
configured in an easy-to-use user interface. The user interface
can be opened in any web browser. Wizards guide you step by
step through the setup of the most important FRITZ!Box func-
tions, and comprehensive Help is available on all functions.
This manual assists you in connecting, configuring and oper-
ating your FRITZ!Box. Its purpose is not only to introduce to

Locking the Buttons on the FRITZ!Box
You can lock the buttons on the FRITZ!Box. Locking the but-
tons prevents the settings for your FRITZ!Box or your home
network from being changed unintentionally or without au-
thorization.
Example
With the “WLAN” button the wireless network of the FRITZ!Box
can be switched off at the touch of a button. If this happens
by accident, in some cases it may take some time before the
cause is found and the wireless LAN radio network can be re-
stored to all FRITZ!Box users in the home network.
The button lock is configured in the FRITZ!Box user interface,
under “System / Buttons and LEDs” on the “Keylock” tab.
