Installation and configuration  
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  
7 hours  
While in use (handset/headset)  
While in use (Speakerphone)  
While in use (Internet browsing)  
5 hours  
3 hours  
While not in use (standby*)  
100 hours#  
* Handset is off the charger but not in use.  
# The operation time in standby mode will decrease to approximately 50 hours if the keypad is blinking to indicate 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 flashing and empty.

Telephone base installation  
If you have problems getting the ip8300 installed properly, first 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 modifications to their firewall 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 configure it as the DMZ host. To find 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 configuration,  
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.

Caller ID operation  
Caller ID with call waiting  
This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or this product’s other features can be used  
without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There are fees  
for caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.  
Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number or the caller’s name and number. This  
product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service  
and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the  
telephone company along with the call information.  
This product has a caller ID function with call waiting feature which works with service from your local  
telephone company.  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering  
the telephone, even when on another call.  
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone  
company if:  
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined  
service).  
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.  
You do not have any caller ID or call waiting services.

Area Code 1  
For more dialing  
options, see page  
24.  
If you need to dial  
10 digits for local  
calls, leave the  
Area Code 1 box  
empty.  
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.

Operating range  
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a  
certain distance ----which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.  
When the handset is out of range, the handset will display Searching. The user can access the handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e. handset setting and registration, but not  
the time setting and base setting. Not possible will be displayed if access is tried.  
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press  
. Move closer to the telephone base, then press  
to answer the  
call.  
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.  
To improve reception, move closer to the base.  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
Electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or  
cleaning solvents of any kind.  
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If your telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UN-  
PLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

About cordless telephones  
Privacy: the same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so  
there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think  
of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.  
Electrical Power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot  
be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.  
Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place  
the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone father away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or  
eliminate the interference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless telephones only).  
Rechargeable Battery(ies): This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable battery(ies). Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short the  
battery with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery  
charger.  
Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Battery(ies): Dispose of these battery(ies) in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other battery(ies) of this type, if burned or punctured, they  
could release caustic material which could cause injury.
