USER GUIDE
These are the basic instructions for the most frequently used telephone sys-
tem features. For detailed information on these and other features, refer to
the Encore Installation, Programming, and Maintenance Manual supplied
with your telephone system, or consult your system administrator. Manuals
are also provided in PDF format on the software CD-ROM. An Adobe
Acrobat Reader is needed to view the files (www.adobe.com). For technical
support, please contact the company that sold and now services your sys-
tem.
Instructions in this guide are given for both phones and single-line sets.
When the single-line set instructions tell you to "perform a hookflash,"
quickly press and release the handset hookswitch.
