www.vtechphones.com

Installation and conguration

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:

Operation Operating time

While in use (handset/headset) 7 hours

While in use (Speakerphone) 5 hours

While in use (Internet browsing) 3 hours

While not in use (standby*) 100 hours

* Handset is off the charger but not in use.

# The oper ation time in standby mo de will dec rease to app roximately 50 hours if the keypad is blinking to ind icate 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 ashing and empty.

Installation and conguration

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of re or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions:

1. Use only the battery(ies) provided or their equivalent.

2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a re. They may explode. Check local waste management

codes for special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause burns

or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to create a short circuit with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery and/or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Charge the battery(ies) provided with or identied for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specied in this manual.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO

WATER OR ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must have a DSL lter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The lter will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL lters.

Installation and configuration

• The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical

or oor 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 conguring 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 lter between the telephone line cord and the wall jack. Contact your DSL provider for more information on DSL lters 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.

www.vtechphones.com

Telephone base installation

If you have problems getting the ip8300 installed properly, rst verify that you have the device physically

installed correctly. Then try rebooting the telephone base by unplugging the power and plugging it

back in after few seconds. Some routers require modications to their rewall 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 congure it as the DMZ host. To nd the IP address of the ip8300,

check the DHCP log for your router.

For detailed information on checking DHCP logs, setting up port forwarding, or DMZ host conguration,

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.

Area code

Area Code 1

If you need to dial 7 digits for local calls you can enter your home area code as Area Code 1. The telephone will compare all incoming caller ID records with the home area code you enter, and remove the area code before storing the number in the call log. This feature makes it easy to call someone from the Missed calls or Answered calls lists without having to edit the number.

Area Code 2 and 3

The second and third area codes you enter are used for the Yahoo! online outgoing calls only. The system will compare all the online outgoing calls (e.g dialing out numbers from Yahoo! Address Book or Yahoo! Local Search) to all the area codes (Area Code 1, 2 and 3) you enter. If the area code being

dialed out does not match the area codes you have entered, a 1 will be added in front of the telephone number before dialing out. However, only the original number will be stored in the dialed call log.

If you need to dial 7 digits for local calls:

Enter your home area code as Area Code 1. If you have other area codes in your area that are local but require 10 digit dialing enter those area codes as Area Code 2 and 3.

If you need to dial 10 digits for local calls:

Leave Area Code 1 box empty. Enter your home area code as Area Code 2. If you have another area code in your area that is local but requires 10 digit dialing enter that number as Area Code 3.
