Using Other Telephones With Your
EPIC
Telephone
Additional Information
Using other
EPIC
intercom telephones
Your
EPIC
telephone is fully compatible with other
EPIC
intercom phones from
TMC
. You may
mix and match basic, voice mail, and cordless versions as well as mixing and matching
EPIC
tele-
phones with different numbers of lines. The
EPIC
system boasts flexibility as well as expandabil-
ity.
Using standard telephones
You may also use standard (non-
EPIC
) telephones in conjunction with your
EPIC
telephones. All
features of the non-
EPIC
telephones will operate normally. However, they will not be able to share
the features of the
EPIC
telephones.
Line Status and Calls on Hold
The line status indicators of the
EPIC
phones will recognize the standard telephones, and when
you place a call on hold at a
EPIC
telephone, you will be able to take the call off hold at a stan-
dard telephone.
Note:
If the line status indicators of your
EPIC
telephones do not function properly, either failing
to light up when a standard telephone uses a line, or staying lit even though no telephone is using
a line, then please see page 73 and follow the instructions for setting the loop voltage detector.
Call Privacy
Call privacy is not observed by non-
EPIC
telephones. A non-
EPIC
telephone on any line has
access to that line at any time, whether or not it is being used by a
EPIC
telephone.
Intercom
Non-
EPIC
telephones cannot use the intercom feature to communicate with
EPIC
telephones.
Using fax machines and computer modems
You may connect computer modems or fax machines to any of your lines, and the line indicators
of the
Epic
telephones will light when these devices are using a line.
You may also connect fax machines and computer modems to Line 2 by connecting them to the
data/fax jacks. Use of the data/fax jack is discussed on the following page.
