Installation and configuration

Charge handset battery

After battery installation, there may be enough power for some short calls. For optimal performance, we recommend that you place the handset in the charger and allow the battery to charge for 16 hours before use. The CHARGE light on the handset charger will be lit to indicate that the handset is charging. You can keep the battery charged by returning the handset to the charger after each use.

When the battery power is completely depleted, a full recharge takes about 16 hours. If the handset will not be used for a long period, remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.

After the battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation Operating time

While in use (handset/headset) 7 hours

While in use (Speakerphone) 5 hours

While in use (Internet browsing) 3 hours

While not in use (standby*) 100 hours #

* Handset is off the charger but not in use.

# The operation time in standby mode will decrease to approximately 50 hours if the keypad is blinking to indicate you have new

voicemail.

The battery needs charging when:

�� A new battery is installed in the handset.

• The battery indicator on the handset display is flashing and empty.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO

WATER OR ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must have a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

Telephone base installation

To install the telephone base:

Do NOT plug in the telephone base until you are instructed to do so.

Before connecting the telephone base to the broadband router, make sure the router’s DHCP server is enabled. Typically, the DHCP server is enabled by default. Refer to your router’s documentation for details on configuring this feature.

Step 1: Install telephone line

Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the telephone line jack on the back of the telephone base. Then plug the other end of the cord into a telephone outlet. If you have DSL, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the wall jack. Contact your DSL provider for more information on DSL filters and telephone line interference.

Step 2: Install ethernet cable

Using the yellow ethernet cable provided, connect one end into the port labeled INTERNET, located on the back of the telephone base. Connect the other end into an available LAN port on your broadband router.

Step 3: Turn power on

Plug the telephone base power adapter into the power port located on the back of the ip8300 telephone base and the other end into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch. This turns the telephone on. Do NOT interrupt the telephone installation process by unplugging the power adapter or by using the handsets until the POWER, INFO and INTERNET indicator lights on the front of telephone base have changed to solid.

��

��

��

Step 4: Check diagnostic lights

The

The

POWER light should be solid indicating the power is on.

INTERNET light should be solid indicating a good physical connection between the telephone base and router.

The INFO light should be solid indicating that the telephone system is able to access data services on the Internet.

Telephone base installation

If you have problems getting the ip8300 installed properly, first verify that you have the device physically installed correctly. Then try rebooting the telephone base by unplugging the power and plugging it back in after few seconds. Some routers require modifications to their firewall settings to allow the ip8300 to access Internet content. In this case, we recommend that you forward TCP port 5060 to the IP address of the ip8300, or configure it as the DMZ host. To find the IP address of the ip8300, check the DHCP log for your router.

For detailed information on checking DHCP logs, setting up port forwarding, or DMZ host configuration, refer to your router’s documentation or call the manufacturer for help. If you continue to have problems, refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 92 for additional information relating to setup.

The following diagram illustrates a typical network layout after the ip8300 has been installed.

Area code

Area Code 1

If you need to dial 7 digits for local calls you can enter your home area code as Area Code 1. The telephone will compare all incoming caller ID records with the home area code you enter, and remove the area code before storing the number in the call log. This feature makes it easy to call someone from the Missed calls or Answered calls lists without having to edit the number.

Area Code 2 and 3

The second and third area codes you enter are used for the Yahoo! online outgoing calls only. The system will compare all the online outgoing calls (e.g dialing out numbers from Yahoo! Address Book or Yahoo! Local Search) to all the area codes ( Area Code 1, 2 and 3) you enter. If the area code being dialed out does not match the area codes you have entered, a 1 will be added in front of the telephone number before dialing out. However, only the original number will be stored in the dialed call log.

If you need to dial 7 digits for local calls:

Enter your home area code as Area Code 1. If you have other area codes in your area that are local but require 10 digit dialing enter those area codes as Area Code 2 and 3.

If you need to dial 10 digits for local calls:

Leave Area Code 1 box empty. Enter your home area code as Area Code 2. If you have another area code in your area that is local but requires 10 digit dialing enter that number as Area Code 3.

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If your telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UN-

PLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

About cordless telephones

�� Privacy: the same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.

�� Electrical Power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

�� Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone father away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless telephones only).
