If release notes are shipped with your product and the information there 
differs from the information in this guide, follow the instructions in the 
release notes.

CAUTION:

 The 3Com telephone system operates over the Ethernet local 

area network (LAN), not through a traditional telephone connection. 
Your telephone is connected to the 3Com system through an RJ45 
Ethernet connector instead of through an RJ11 telephone connection. 
Your telephone will not work unless it is connected correctly. 

For information about installing your telephone, see the packing sheet 
that came in the box with your telephone. The model number is on the 
underside of the telephone. Contact your administrator if you have 
questions about your telephone connection.

For information about the voice mail system and features, see the 

IP 

Messaging Module User Guide - 3Com Native Interface

 or the

 IP 

Messaging Module User Guide - Traditional Interface

, depending on the 

Telephone User Interface (TUI) enabled for your phone.
