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.
