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 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.

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.

4.Place handset onto the charger front slot. Battery is fully charged when the corresponding LED turns green (see Charger Features).

5.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 will need to register the handset with the base station in order to be recognized as a member handset by the base(s) and by other handsets. See Handset Registration.
