If you are having difficulty with your EPIC telephone, DO NOT RETURN IT!

You may find your problem and solution listed below. If not, call TMC’s toll-free customer support line at 1-800-TMC-1638, and an expert will walk you through your problem. You may also use this toll-free line if you ever have a question that is not answered in your User’s Guide.

ly in place (See pages 4-7).

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that the AC adapter is plugged into a jack not

 

 

 

 

 

controlled by a wall switch.

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that there is a station number assigned to the

 

 

 

 

 

telephone (See page 8).

 

 

 

 

 

If possible, check your jack wiring by testing a non-system

 

 

 

 

 

phone at the jack in question. If this standard telephone

 

 

 

 

 

does not work, then local telephone company lines or your

 

 

 

 

 

own wiring may be causing the problem.

 

 

 

 

 

Be sure to use the line cords that came with your TMC tele-

 

 

 

 

 

phone. If the supplied line cords are too short, you may pur-

 

 

 

 

 

chase 25’ twisted-pair line cords from TMC (See page v).

 

 

 

 

 

If you are still having difficulty, resetting the telephone may

 

 

 

 

 

help (See Resetting Procedure at the end of this guide).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The display reads “Station

If this keeps happening:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There may be an incompatible telephone or device con-

 

 

 

 

 

nected somewhere in the system. Remove all non-TMC

 

 

 

 

 

phones and devices and check if problem persists.

 

 

 

 

 

There may be a malfunctioning telephone. Remove one

 

 

 

 

 

phone at a time from the system and see if problem persists.

 

 

 

 

 

There may be a minor source of interference. The software

 

 

 

 

 

provides the ability to lock the station assignment so that this

 

 

 

 

 

will not continue to happen (See Locking Station

 

 

 

 

 

Assignments, page 105).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no dial tone when

 

 

Try replacing the handset with one from another TMC tele-

 

 

using the handset, yet the

 

 

phone. If this solves the problem, call TMC for a free

 

 

speakerphone works fine.
