Congratulations 

 
 
You have purchased an exceptional business 
communications tool from a leading telephone system 
manufacturer. 
 

The EnGenius EP-490 4-line Wireless Telephone System 
is ideal for the users in various business settings.  The 
EP-490 is the longest range, multi-line telephone and 2-
way radio communications system providing users 
unparallel mobility and flexibility.   
 
With sophisticated digital signal processing and high 
quality hardware designs, the EP-490 provides long-
range telephone connections and 2-way handset-to-
handset communications in a wide variety of business 
settings from multi-level office buildings, factories, 
hotels/resorts, convention facilities, warehouses, farms, 
business complexes, construction sites, school, car 
dealerships, and other demanding business 
environments. 

 
The unique 2-way radio feature allows handsets to 
communicate with each other as digital, full-duplex 2-way 
radios.  Members of work group(s) can be in contact with 
their co-workers while leaving phone lines available for 
incoming and outgoing calls.  Handsets that are within range 
of each other can use the 2-way feature even while out of 
range of the base station.  EP-490 can support up to 90 
handsets.
