1.2 Positioning Your EP100
When your new EP100 arrives, the system installer unpacks the 
phone and connects the line cord to a system jack. The following sec-
tions describe a few initial adjustments that allow you to quickly 
begin making and answering calls.
You should adjust the position of the EP100 on your desk or table to 
suit your individual needs and maximize the performance of the 
sound activated features. When using your EP100, the microphone 
and loudspeaker are farther from you than when you use a handset. 
Some positioning tips to consider include:
• For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three 
feet of it and face the speakerphone.
• Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches 
from operating properly. Avoid placing the EP100 where it will 
detect sounds from keyboards, printers, paging systems, 
typewriters, or other equipment.
• Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table 
edges. Do not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do 
not let obstructions come between you and the microphone.
Your telephone has an adjustable pedestal to allow you to select the 
most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the telephone, 
the pedestal is in its lowest position—flush against the pedestal.
To adjust the pedestal,
1. Grasp the rear of the pedestal 
base firmly with one hand 
and lift the rear portion of the 
telephone upward with your 
other hand.
