5.23 LF Location
The LF location feature is used to keep track and report the location of DECT handsets. It is implemented
through LF location devices, which transmit location information continuously. The location information
consists of a location ID. The handset stores the four last received location IDs and the time that has
elapsed since the location IDs were received.
All locations are stored in the same list. If different location devices are in range, the priority order
is as follows:
• IR
• DECT
• LF
• BLE
5.23.1 Handset Users
For handset users, LF location is used to indicate the location of the handset in critical situations when the
handset alarm button is pressed. LF location is configured via the WinPDM/Device Manager where the
parameter for activation is found at:
• Location → LF location → LF location.
5.23.2 System Administrators and Installers
The LF magnetic field propagates through the ceiling, floor, and walls. Therefore it needs careful
planning.
For system administrators and location installers, the handset can be configured and used to provide
important RF information when provisioning, commissioning and analyzing a network of location devices:
• LF location data
• LF location indications
