Warnings
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching.
Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected
to it. This endpoint is no exception.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Inter-Tel, or
operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Operating
Guide, could void your authority to operate this product.
The cords on this product and/or accessories contain lead, a chemical known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
Range Limits
The INT3000 is designed for commercial use. Range has been approved for 150 feet
per Base Unit. Actual range may be less or greater than this distance depending on the
environment. Building wiring, walls, elevators and other electronic interference frequencies may limit the range of this telephone. Please consult your telecommunications consultant for testing of your location.
To maximize the range capability, do the following:
•Locate the Base Unit at the highest point possible in the center of your coverage
zone. If you are planning to cover an outdoor area, such as a car lot, building
grounds, or campus, place the unit near a window and the highest point within the
building.
•Place the Base Unit away from any electronic device. This includes, but is not
limited to, computer screens, radios, electronic signs, coffee pots, microwaves,
and other electronic devices.
NOTICE
CAUTION
WARNING
v
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless
Handset, or clicking noises in the Base Unit. This interference is caused by external
sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, computer
equipment, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your office to see what appliances
may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the Base not be plugged
into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your endpoint, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless
telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a
TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther
away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your office, they must operate
on different channels. Press the channel button to select a channel that provides the
clearest communication.
vi
Privacy
Cordless endpoints are radio devices. Communications between the Handset and Base
Unit of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are
broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio
waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than
your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your
cordless telephone may not be private.
Base Units and Handsets
The Handsets are programmed to work a specific Base Unit. You cannot switch to a
new Handset or a new Base Unit without having it reprogrammed by Inter-Tel.
Battery Packs
The Battery Packs contain rechargeable, sealed, Nickel-Metal Hydrate batteries. To
reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and follow these
instructions:
•Use only the appropriate type and size Battery Pack specified in this user guide.
•Do not dispose of the Battery Pack in a fire. The cell may explode.
•Do not open or mutilate the Battery Pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
•Exercise care in handling the Battery Pack in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
•Do not charge the Battery Pack used in this telephone in any charger other than
the one provided with it. Using another charger may damage the battery, or cause
the battery to explode.
•Observe proper polarity orientation between the Battery Pack and Battery
Charger.
•Do not short circuit the Battery Pack.
Not Waterproof
This unit is not waterproof. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or damage
to the unit, DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture.

ABOUT VOICE MAIL
Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel voice processing system.
Using voice mail, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages from
any supported endpoint on the system. To use voice mail features, each user (or subscriber) is assigned a mailbox, which usually corresponds to the extension number
assigned to your endpoint. You can, however, have an unassociated mailbox that does
not correspond to an extension. (Unassociated mailboxes are typically used for agents
or other personnel who don’t have a permanent office.)
With your mailbox, you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know if
you are out of town, on a call, etc. If a caller reaches your mailbox, they can leave a
message, hang up, or access an attendant. In addition, if your voice mail administrator
sets up one or more “group lists” of mailboxes, you can send a message to a group of
people by entering one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.
Inter-Tel voice mail systems support the following types of mailboxes:
• Advanced Mailbox: If E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, you have
access to voice mail, e-mail, and fax messages in your mailbox. You can also customize your personal mailbox options, and access advanced messaging features.
See page 75 for information and instructions about using E-Mail Reader features.
For a voice mail flowchart for advanced mailbox users, see page 87.
• Standard Voice Mailbox: This type of mailbox allows you to send and receive
voice mail messages, record personal greetings, and allows you to customize personal mailbox options. A standard voice mailbox does not allow you to access email and fax messages. For a voice mail flowchart for standard mailbox users,
see page 103.

Enterprise Messaging
Enterprise Messaging (EM) is the Inter-Tel messaging system that uses industry-standard protocols for communication and messaging. EM unifies communication and
messaging by providing access to voice mail, fax, and e-mail messages in your mailbox. The EM system provides voice mail users with the following advanced messaging features:
• Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): ASR can be enabled for the entire sys-
tem or it can be enabled for specific applications (like voice mail) or mailboxes.
When ASR is enabled for your mailbox, you can issue spoken commands to navigate the voice mail menus. ASR also allows subscribers and non-subscribers to
navigate automated attendant menus, call routing applications, and search the
directories. ASR can be enabled for standard voice mailboxes and advanced mailboxes (see page 78). For more information about ASR, see page 18.
• E-Mail Reader: E-Mail Reader allows you to access voice, e-mail, and fax mes-
sages from your mailbox. For e-mail messages, E-mail Reader uses Text-toSpeech (TTS) capabilities included with EM to convert the text in an e-mail message to a .wav file. For fax messages, E-Mail Reader announces the fax envelope. If E-Mail Reader has been enabled for your mailbox, your voice mail, email, and fax messages are unified in one convenient location. For more information and instructions about how to use E-Mail Reader features, see the Using E-Mail Reader section, starting on page 75.
Consult your voice mail administrator to see if ASR and/or E-Mail Reader is enabled
for your mailbox.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a feature available for systems using EM.
Because ASR is a very flexible feature, it can be enabled or disabled on several different levels. When ASR is enabled for your mailbox, you can issue spoken commands
to navigate the voice mail menus. ASR also allows subscribers and non-subscribers to
navigate automated attendant menus, call routing applications, and search the directories using voice commands.
When you access voice mail, if you are given the option to say a command or press a
dialpad digit to complete a task, then ASR is enabled for your mailbox. If you are
only prompted to press a dialpad digit, ASR is not enabled for your mailbox. If your
mailbox is not ASR-enabled, you can still navigate the menus and perform tasks by
pressing the appropriate dialpad digits when prompted by the system.
When using ASR, follow these guidelines for best results:
•When completing a mailbox-related task, either say the command each time or
press the dialpad digits each time.
•Use the handset when issuing spoken commands. Your endpoint’s speaker can
pick up background noise and other sounds, which may cause the system to misinterpret a command.
•Voice mail command words are shown on display endpoints. If your endpoint has
a display and you don’t hear the command word when the prompt is announced,
look at the display for the appropriate voice command.
•When you use the dialpad digits to complete a task, you are sometimes prompted
to press to indicate to the system that you have finished entering digits. It is
not necessary to say “Pound” or “Hash” when using ASR. The silence that follows your voice command replaces the digit.
•While you are recording a message, ASR is temporarily disabled, therefore you
cannot issue spoken commands to access options like pause and erase. If you
attempt to issue a spoken command while you are recording, your recording will
include the command you issued. To access the pause and erase options, you
must press the appropriate dialpad digits.
•You cannot use ASR to set up your e-mail password (see page 79). For security
reasons, you must enter your e-mail password characters by pressing the appropriate dialpad digits. Entering passwords this way prevents others from overhearing your password.
•If the system cannot interpret your voice commands for three consecutive
attempts, ASR is temporarily disabled by the system for the current call. You can
still complete tasks using the dialpad digits; however, you will no longer be
prompted to say a command.
•You can temporarily disable ASR for the current call by selecting option eight
from the main menu.
