About the Internet

The Internet is basically a large group of computers tied together to share information. It started as a military project back in the 1950’s, and has progressed to a stand-alone network of Universities and independent sites. The Internet is a huge repository of information, provided by countless millions of people, and covering every subject imaginable.

Your new EP200 allows you to tap into one of the most useful aspects of the Internet. Electronic Mail, or E-Mail for short, is a tool for sending letters and messages to people all over the world via the Internet.

There are two ways you can get on the Internet with your new EP200 phone. One is to use the automated sign-up feature to set up an account. See page 24. The other is to use an account you already have, called an Internet service provider, to access the Internet. See page 27. There are many different Internet service providers on the market, from small to large. These include industry giants, like Microsoft Network, as well as local providers, like Internet America. You can find information on how to contact a service provider in most newspapers, computer magazines, and even television commercials.

Again, if you would rather not hassle with setting up an account on your own, just use the automated sign-up feature of your new phone. Whatever you choose to do, it will be an experience well worth the effort. Welcome to the Information Superhighway, and enjoy!

Getting Started

Charging the Handset

Place the handset on the base to charge. The Charge message appears on the LCD. See page 17 for details.

Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter over time as you use the unit.

To Avoid Memory Effect

At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears. Avoid “topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.
