configuration and Installation
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:

Operating time |
|
|
While in use (handset/headset) |

|
|
While not in use (standby*) |

* 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.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone lines,youmust have a DSL filter between the telephone baseand 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.

configuration and Installation
•The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical
or floor mount position.
•Use only the power adapter provided in this package; using any other power adapter could damage the telephone.
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 POWER light should be solid indicating the power is on.
The 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
Ifyouhaveproblemsgettingtheip8300installedproperly,firstverifythatyouhavethedevicephysically 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.
FordetailedinformationoncheckingDHCPlogs,settingupportforwarding,orDMZhostconfiguration, 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.

Call log
The ip8300 telephone has three call histories: missed calls, answered calls, and dialed calls. The missed call and answered call histories can each hold 20 records. The dialed calls history can hold 10 records.
Entries are displayed from the most recent entry to the oldest entry. When the memory is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new call information.
If you subscribe to caller ID from your telephone company, then the missed and answered call log will display more specific information on the caller, such as their name and telephone number; otherwise, the telephone will only record the date and time the call comes in. The dialed call log keeps track of the telephone numbers dialed and the date and time the calls are made.
Make a call log entry ready to dial
Although the call log entries can display 10 digits (area code plus the sevendigit number), in some areas you may need to dial only the seven digits, a 1 plus the seven digits, or a 1 plus the area code plus the seven digits.
While reviewing the call log, press # repeatedly to display these dialing options before dialing or saving the telephone number in the phonebook. See the example on the right.
The # feature does not work on the Yahoo! Address Book or Yahoo! Local
Search phone numbers.
