Installing Your System
Step 4: Install Wall Mounted Phones (Continued)
5 Assign a Station Number
Refer to page 8 for detailed instructions on assigning a station number.
6 Install Batteries (Optional)
It is not necessary for you to install batteries in your Epic telephone for it to function normally. In fact, batteries are not even needed to pre- serve your memory dial numbers in the event of a power failure. This is because all memory dial numbers are stored in a static memory which retains its contents even with no electri- cal power. The only purpose of having batter- ies installed is so that the telephone itself can function on line 1 only for up to twelve hours in the event of a power failure. You may wish to install batteries in at least one Epic phone for emergency operation, or have another stan- dard phone available. If you wish to install bat- teries, refer to page 68 for detailed instructions.
7 Attach Telephone to Wall
Hold the telephone close to the wall and con- nect the short telephone line cord to the jack. Then mount the telephone to the wall plate, sliding it down firmly so that it locks securely in place.
8 Verify Proper Installation
IMPORTANT: Please remember to perform the procedure on page 9, after you assign each station number, to verify that each telephone is properly installed.
