Installation
The telephone is designed for use behind a
registered PABX system. The PABX station port
type must be industry standard analog or POTS.
This telephone cannot be used with digital PABX
station ports. The telephone user or installer must
supply a two-wire, RJ-11 modular wall jack to
connect this telephone to the PABX system.
To install the telephone first snap the supplied
coiled handset cord into the jack on the end of
handset. Then place the handset in its cradle.
Connect the free end of the coiled handset cord
to the jack on left side of the telephone body,
marked with a handset symbol. This jack is closer
to the front of the telephone.
Next, take supplied straight modular cord and
insert it into jack on the REAR of telephone.
Connect the other end of this cord to telephone
system wall jack. Lift the handset. A dial tone
should be heard.
Features
Guest Service Keys*—3, 5, or 10 user-
programmable guest service keys with 32 digit
capacity. [FLASH] and [PAUSE] are storable.
Guest service memory is non-volatile EEPROM,
so programming is retained without the need for
batteries or telephone line power.
Patented OneTouch Voice Mail Retrieval Touch
Bar**—Pressing the touch bar automatically
turns on the speakerphone, and then dials into
a user-programmed voice mail system to retrieve
messages. But for the non-speakerphone such as
Aegis-3-08 phone, you should first off-hook your
phone, and then perform the above operation to
retrieve the voice mail messages.
Dual-Function NEON/LED Message Waiting
Light—Located beneath the voice mail retrieval
touch bar. Compatible with high voltage neon
(90DC Volts) and AT&T/Lucent/Avaya low
voltage LED message waiting light systems (20
to 25DC Volts). Also functions as visual ring
indicator.
FLASH—Generates a 600 ms (0.6 seconds)
hookswitch tap signal. Utilized to access special
features on PBX systems. The flash function is
programmable at 100 ms to 1000ms (default is
600 ms). Pressing the [FLASH] key has the same
effect as tapping the hookswitch. It is used to
access PBX system features, such as system hold,
transfer/conference, or call park. The standard
flash time is 600 milliseconds (0.6 seconds).
[FLASH] is storable in the programmable guest
service keys, along with other digits. Please
refer to your PBX system manual for additional
information and the exact digit sequences required
for accessing special PBX system features.
Assembly
If you will be wall-mounting your telephone, it
is best to do the conversion before connecting
the handset and line cords. If you will using the
telephone on a desktop, attach the handset.
