Additional Information

Using Other Telephones With Your EPIC Telephone

Using other EPIC intercom telephones

Your EPIC telephone is fully compatible with other EPIC intercom phones from TMC. You may mix and match basic, voice mail, and cordless versions as well as mixing and matching EPIC tele- phones with different numbers of lines. The EPIC system boasts flexibility as well as expandabil- ity.

Using standard telephones

You may also use standard (non-EPIC) telephones in conjunction with your EPIC telephones. All features of the non-EPICtelephones will operate normally. However, they will not be able to share the features of the EPIC telephones.

Line Status and Calls on Hold

The line status indicators of the EPIC phones will recognize the standard telephones, and when you place a call on hold at a EPIC telephone, you will be able to take the call off hold at a stan- dard telephone.

Note: If the line status indicators of your EPIC telephones do not function properly, either failing to light up when a standard telephone uses a line, or staying lit even though no telephone is using a line, then please see page 73 and follow the instructions for setting the loop voltage detector.

Call Privacy

Call privacy is not observed by non-EPICtelephones. A non-EPICtelephone on any line has access to that line at any time, whether or not it is being used by a EPIC telephone.

Intercom

Non-EPICtelephones cannot use the intercom feature to communicate with EPIC telephones.

Using fax machines and computer modems

You may connect computer modems or fax machines to any of your lines, and the line indicators of the Epic telephones will light when these devices are using a line.

You may also connect fax machines and computer modems to Line 2 by connecting them to the data/fax jacks. Use of the data/fax jack is discussed on the following page.
