Installation

both AT&T/Lucent LED and high voltage neon message waiting light

The Aegis Two-line Series telephones are designed for use behind a
registered PBX system. The telephone user or system installer must
supply a RJ-14 two-line modular wall jack to connect this telephone to the
PBX system. The PBX “station port” type must be “Industry Standard
Analog” or “POTS.” This telephone cannot be used with “digital” PBX
station ports.
2. Memory Keys* Up to 10 user programmable speed-dial keys.
16 digit storage capacity per key, including [FLASH] and [PAUSE].
3. FLASH key provides a 600mS (0.6 seconds) flash time. (Not
available on Aegis T5 model)
To install telephone, first snap 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.
4. HOLD key for “local hold”.

Next, take the supplied straight, two-line telephone line cord and insert it
into jack on the REAR of telephone. Connect the other end of this cord to
a telephone system wall jack. Lift the handset. A dial tone should be
heard.
Converting to Wall Mount:
It is best to do this conversion before connecting the handset and line
cords
1. The wall/desk handset clip is on the front of the phone directly above
the speaker grill. This clip is spring loaded. Gently pull it up and turn
½ turn to change from desk to wall mount. In the wall position, the
clip extends up to hold the handset in place. This clip does not come
off so it cannot be lost.
2. Turn the telephone over so the telephone face is down.
3. Locate the wall-mounting bracket. Note the 4 retaining tabs on
bracket.
4. Rotate the wall-mounting bracket so that the Scitec “Sun” designs are
toward the bottom of the phone.
5. Insert the 4 retaining tabs of the wall-mounting bracket into the 4 slots
located near the middle of the telephone. Firmly push to insert the 4
retaining tabs. They will click into place.
6. Connect a short line cord into the jack on the rear of the phone.
Route the line cord through the line cord channel. Connect the other
end of the line cord to the phone jack on the wall.
7. Hold telephone in front of the 2 mushroom shaped mounting posts on
the wall jack. Line up both keyholes on wall-mounting bracket with the
2 posts. After engaging wall-mounting bracket with posts, slide
telephone down slightly. When properly installed the telephone will
be firmly attached to the wall.
Using the Aegis Series telephone:
Placing calls –
1. Press [LINE 1] or [LINE 2] to select an unused line.
2. Lift the handset, or press the speakerphone key.
3. Then use the dialing keys, redial, or press any of the “user

2. Lift the handset, or press the speakerphone key.
Placing a call on Hold –
a. Using handset: During a call, place the caller on hold by
pressing the [HOLD] key. Then replace the handset in its
cradle.
b. Using speakerphone: Press [HOLD] to place the caller
on hold.

Page 4
[FLASH] is used to access PBX system features, like “system hold,”
“transfer/conference,” or “call park.” Pressing [FLASH] has the same
effect as “tapping” the hookswitch. The standard flash time is 600msec.
[FLASH] may be stored in programmable speed-dial memory keys, along
with other digits. Please see your PBX system manual for additional
information and exact digit sequences required for accessing special PBX
system features.
[REDIAL] redials the last number dialed
, up to 16 digits total. It is not
necessary to hang up first before pressing [REDIAL], as pressing
[REDIAL] automatically hangs up for one second before redialing begins.
Ringer volume:
The ringer volume switch is located at rear of
telephone. Positions: LO - HI. “LO” ringer volume setting is
recommended for most users. If the telephone is installed in a very noisy
location, the “HI” ringer volume setting may be preferred.
Speed-Dial Key Programming
1. Before programming speed-dial keys, the telephone must be plugged
into an active telephone line. Then lift the handset, or press the
speakerphone key to take telephone “off-hook.”
2. Remove the faceplate from the phone.
3. Press the [STORE] key.
4. Dial the desired phone number to be stored. Include [PAUSE] or
[FLASH] when necessary. There is a 16 digit storage capacity for
each memory key.
Note – The [PAUSE] key will insert a 3.6 second pause before
the next number is dialed out. If a “9” prefix (or any other digit) is required
to access an outside telephone line, then a “pause” might be required
after the first number dialed. For example: 9 [PAUSE] 1 – 800 – 555 –
1212. A pause may also be required when accessing voice mail systems,
between dialing the voice mail system access number and entering the
user’s passcode.
5. Press the speed-dial key in which the number is to be stored.
6. To continue programming more keys, repeat steps 3-5. It is not
necessary to hang up first or obtain a new dial tone before continuing
with programming.
Note - Speed-dial memory key contents are retained even if telephone is
unplugged from an active telephone line.
Dataport:
The jack on the right side of the telephone (labeled DATA), next
to the speaker volume control, may optionally be used to connect a
computer modem, credit card terminal, or other similar accessory device
directly to telephone line. Any device plugged into the dataport will utilize
Line 2 when taken “off-hook”. Note that the telephone and device
plugged into the DATA jack cannot both be “off-hook” at the same time,
as both ports share the same telephone line.
Do not attempt to use Dataport for connecting the handset,
headset, or for connecting telephone to PBX. The dataport is ONLY
for connecting computer modems or similar accessory devices.
