Safety Instructions
Caution: Your wireless telephone gives you freedom and flexibility
to stay in touch while you move around. However, the safe and
responsible use of the phone depends entirely on you.
When using your phone equipment, safety instructions should be
followed to avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to person,
and damage to property.
General Safety Instructions
1. When using your wireless phone, ensure your safety and the
safety of others:
a. Always watch where you are walking and standing.
b. Don’t let a phone call distract you from working safely.
2. In an emergency:
a. If an emergency occurs, dial the emergency phone
number. Remember: if you are in an area where your
phone does not have a clear signal from the base, it is
highly probable that the call may not go through. Locate
the nearest landline telephone or other communications
device to call for help.
b. Emergency calls may not automatically provide
emergency personnel with your name, phone number or
location. Tell the operator
i) Your name and phone number
ii) The nature of the emergency
iii) Whether police, fire, or medical assistance is needed
iv) The exact location of the emergency, including
address, cross streets, mileposts or landmarks.
3. Notice to Hearing Aid Users: This phone system is compatible
with inductively coupled hearing aids.
4. Notice to Cardiac Pacemaker Users: Preliminary studies done
by the US FDA and others have shown that, although
interference to the implanted cardiac pacemaker may occur
when operating very closely, wireless telephones “do not
seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers.”
However, until more is known, FDA suggests that people with
pacemakers may want to take precautions when using or
carrying a wireless telephone to ensure that there is ample
distance between the telephone and the pacemaker. Do not

Regulatory Information
EP-236
FCC ID: ???????
IC: ???????
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this
phone.
1. The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only
signifies that Industry of Canada technical specifications were
met.
2. This telephone system complies with rules of the FCC Part 68
and Canadian IC/DOC CS-03. On the bottom of the base
station is a label that contains, among other information, the
FCC Registration Number, Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
and the Universal Service Order Code, which is RJ-11C in the
U.S. or CA-11A in Canada. Your telephone company may ask
you for this information.
3. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you
may connect to your telephone line and still have all devices
ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not
all, areas the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the number
of devices you may connect to your phone line, you should
contact you local telephone company for the maximum REN in
your area.
4. If your telephone equipment causes problems to the telephone
network, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect
your phone system from the line until the problem has been
corrected. Consult with your local phone company for your
rights if this happens.
5. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
proper functioning of your telephone system. Consult with
your local phone company for your rights if this happens.

6. This telephone system may not be used on coin service
provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines
is subject to state tariffs.
7. This telephone system has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules and RSS210 of the DOC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a general public installation.
Operations of these devices may still encounter interference
from/to nearby TV’s, VCR’s, radios, computers, or other
electronic devices. To minimize or prevent such interference,
the telephone system should not be placed or operated near
other electronic devices. If interference occurs, moving the
base station and the handset farther away from them will often
reduce or eliminate the interference.
8. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this telephone system does
cause interference to other electronic devices, which can be
determined by turning the system off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or several
of the following measures:
a. Increase the space separation between the handset or
base station and the device that is experiencing
interference. We recommend at least 20 feet between the
system and other electronic devices.
b. Connect the base station to a power outlet on a circuit
separate from that used by the device experiencing
interference.
c. Consult the dealer or an experienced electronic technician
for help.
9. This equipment is a transmitter which produces RF
energy. The limits on human exposure to radio emission are
set by FCC, this equipment complies with those limits. The
use of any accessories that have not been approved is a
violation of FCC rules.

Getting Started
Base Station Installation
1. Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC adaptor
into a standard AC electrical power outlet, plug the other end
into the “DC In” jack on the back of the base station.
Note:
1. The base adaptor’s DC plug is larger in dimension than the
charger’s DC plug. The charger adaptor’s DC plug will not fit
into the base’s DC In jack.
2. The base station’s power supply (DC Adaptor) and telephone
line should be plugged into a surge protector with phone line
protection.
3. It is recommended to use an UPS (Uninterruptible Power
Supply) to prevent lost of telephone services in a power
outage.
2. Plug one end of the phone cord into one of the 2 phone jacks
marked Line 1 or Line 2, starting from Line 1, plug the other
end into the telephone outlet.
3. Repeat for additional phone lines. You can add the second
phone line at a later time.
4. For best performance, maintain at least a distance of 1 meter
(about 3 feet) between the base station and other electronic
devices (e.g., TV, computer, stereo, fax machine, answer
machine, cordless phone, etc.)
5. Recommended phone line features from the local phone
company: Multiple phone lines “hunt group” is a useful feature
and works well with this phone system. This feature “ties”
multiple phone lines to a single phone number. When an
outside caller calls this common phone number, the phone
company automatically finds a free line. In a hunt group, the
Call Waiting and the Caller ID with Call Waiting (or called Type
II Caller ID) features are unnecessary because a 2nd call will
come in on a separate line, rather than on the same line. For
a 2nd call coming in on a separate line, the phone system’s
Draft version EP-236-1.1UM
Confidential – Do Not Reproduce or Forward
22
built-in Call Waiting feature will alert the user and allow the
user to toggle between 2 lines.
6. To use the Music/Message-On-Hold feature: Connect one
end of a standard audio cable into a radio or audio player, and
plug the other (3.5 mm) end into the MOH jack on back of the
base. Audio cable is not included.
7. Connecting an external telephone answering device:
a. Follow instructions that come with the answering device.
b. An exemplary configuration: install the external answering
device in-between the wall phone jack(s) and the Base
Station. Either a multiple of single-line answering devices
or a multiple-line answering device can be used. You may
want to disable the Base Station’s Auto-Attendant function
if that interferes with the external device’s built-in Auto-
Attendant.
Handset and Charger Installation
1. Plug the transformer end of the Charger AC/DC adaptor into a
standard AC electric power outlet, plug the other end into the
DC In jack on the back of the Charger.
2. Install battery pack onto the handset.
3. Place handset onto the charger front slot. Battery is fully
charged when the corresponding battery icon shows 4 bars.
4. The phone system is now ready to perform basic functions
such as making and receiving phone calls and intercom calls.
No base station or handset programming is needed for basic
operations.
Note:
1. Handset(s) packaged along with a Base Station are pre-
registered at the factory. If you have a new handset, you

3. Calls can be forwarded to another handset or a phone
number, but not both. Setting a call forwarding address will
automatically replace the previous setting.
4. There is no call forwarding announcement, the caller is not
aware of the call is being forwarded.
5. Call forwarding can be only one-hop. That is, for example, if
Handset 11 forwards calls to Handset 22, but Handset 22 also
sets calls forwarding to another handset, calls for Handset 11
are still routed to Handset 22.
Auto-Attendant (AA)
1. When enabled by the administrator, an automated attendant
would greet a telephone line incoming call.

“Please hold, your call is being transferred to the operator.”
and automatically ring the operator handset.
6. If the destination handset does not answer (busy, power off, or
out of range) after handset paging time out, the AA prompts
the caller for another extension number by announcing
(OGM5): “The extension you’ve entered is busy or not
available. Please enter another extension number or press 0
for the operator.”
7. If the 2nd try is still not successful, AA will announce (OGM4):
“Sorry, nobody can answer your call right now. Please try

1. Intercom calls are not routed by Auto-Attendant.
2. Routing messages OGM2, 3, 4, and 5 are not user
programmable.
3. The timeout is 5 seconds for entering extension number.
4. Call routing is at most 2 hops. That is, if both the 1st and the
2nd handsets do not answer, the call will be terminated. Call
routed to the operator is final and will be terminated if the
operator does not answer.
Call Waiting (integrated w/ system)
1. A handset, while talking on one phone line, can be informed of
the arrival of a new incoming phone call.
2. For example, suppose that Handset 15 is talking on Line 1.
When a new call comes in on, Line 2, and the caller enters
extension number “15” when prompted by the AA, or if the call
is set to be routed to Handset 15 when AA is disabled.
3. The base station recognizes that Handset 15 is busy. Instead
of announcing to Line 4 that Handset 15 is busy, the base
sends an alert to Handset 15.
4. Upon receiving the alert, the handset sounds an audible
double beep alert and LCD displays “New call on Line 4”.
Draft version EP-236-1.1UM

c. Subsequent pressing of FLASH key will toggle between
Line 1 and Line 4.
d. Press END key while talking to a line will terminate that
particular call and automatically switch back to talking to
the remaining line.
Notes:
1. This built-in call waiting is separate from the Call Waiting
feature available from the local phone company. The phone
company provided Call Waiting functions on the same phone
line, while the Call Waiting functions on two separate phone
lines.
2. This feature only works for 2 lines, if a 3rd phone call comes for
the same handset, the call will not be routed to the handset.
3. It is recommended to order from the local phone company
Hunt Group feature for all your lines and not subscribe to the
Call Waiting feature.

must be in range with the base to make changes.
3. The maximum recording time for the greeting message is 128
seconds.
4. Allowing each line’s AA to be turned on or off separately is
useful if different lines are used for different purposes.
5. When AA is disabled, the line can only be dedicated to an
individual Handset ID. Group ID (01-09) will not be accepted.
6. The operator can be any individual handset or a group; it
doesn’t need to be an administrator handset (Handsets 10 and
11).
7. The minimum number of rings before the AA picks up cannot
be lower than two for the purpose of receiving the Caller ID
message.
