During a call

• Changing the speaker volume, and muting or unmuting the microphone, causes

both pods to change simultaneously.

• If one pod loses its link to the base due to low battery power or being moved

out of range, the call will continue on the other pod.

Ending a call

• Pressing 

ON/OFF

on either pod ends the call and places both pods into stand-

by mode, ready for another call.

Caring for your Max Wireless

•  Follow all warnings and instructions marked on your Max Wireless.
•  Unplug base unit and conferencing pod from the wall outlet before cleaning.
•  Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth moistened with water to clean the

outside of your conferencing pod or base unit and power supply.

Electrical considerations

•  Use only the power adapter that comes with your conferencing phone.
• Use only the battery pack that ships with your phone.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with your Max Wireless, it might be improperly set up or other 
equipment might be malfunctioning.To begin, check for the following or consult the chart on
the next page:

•  The Max Wireless base unit is plugged into the proper volt electrical outlet and its power

light is on.

• The battery pack in the pod section is fully charged and plugged in correctly.
•  The telephone cord from the base unit is securely connected to the telephone wall jack.
•  The equipment the other party is using is comparable in quality to your Max Wireless con-

ferencing phone and is working properly. While the Max Wireless works with lower quality
products, the quality of the conference will be impacted if the party you are conferencing
with has poor quality equipment.

Tones and alerts

Using the MaxAttach Wireless Conferencing System

The MaxAttach Wireless is a dual-pod conferencing system.The MaxAttach Wireless
conferencing pods function only with their associated base unit.The base unit and
conferencing pods are programmed at the factory and have matching serial numbers:
the serial number for the base is found on a label on the back of the base and the
serial number for the pods is found on a label on the bottom of each pod.

There are a few minor differences between single-pod and dual-pod operation, as
detailed in the following paragraphs.

Answering a call

• Both pods ring during an incoming call. Each pod’s ringer melody and volume

depends on that pod’s settings. Pressing 

ON/OFF

on either pod activates both

pods.

IC Compliance

IC: 1970A-910158

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 0.1B(ac)

Notice

The term "IC" before the certification/registration number signifies that Industry of Canada
technical specifications were met.

This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec-
tive operational and safety requirements.The Department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user's satisfaction.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices, which may be connected to the telephone
line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to
an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the
total RENs, contact the telephone company to obtain the maximum RENs for the calling area.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications company.The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the companies inside wiring associat-
ed with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly (telephone extension cord).The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility
designated by ClearOne Communications. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected togeth-
er.This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

European Compliance

This equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Directive 1999/5/EC "Radio
Equipment and Telecommunications Equipment" (see insert enclosed with phone).

Compliance

FCC Part 15/ICES-003 Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada ICES-003.These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment.This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residen-
tial area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to cor-
rect the interference at his/her own expense.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference,
and (2) This device must accept any interference including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation of the device.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by ClearOne Communications could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Part 15 Subpart C/RSS-210

Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present in most businesses at one time or another. This is most intense
during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluores-
cent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because radio frequencies are suscepti-
ble to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through the speaker, this is usually only a
minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.

RF Radiation Exposure

This equipment complies with FCC RF Radiation Exposure limits set forth for the uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between radiator and your body.

FCC Part 68/IC CS-03 Compliance

US:FBIWI01B910158001 Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 0.1B(ac)

This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules and Technical Requirements for Telephone
Terminal Equipment published by ACTA. The marking on the base unit of this equipment con-
tains, among other information, the US number and ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to your telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices, which may be connected to the telephone
line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to
an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the
total RENs, contact the telephone company to obtain the maximum RENs for the calling area.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you
in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not
practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures
that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will
provide advance notice for you to make the necessary modifications in order to maintain unin-
terrupted service.
