Welcome

Welcome to Aastra’s 9617 telephone with Personal Call

Manager.

The 9617 telephone is an advanced two-line telephone

designed to work with Personal Call Manager software.

Without the software, the 9617 telephone works on its

own. When Personal Call Manager is running, you can

control calls using either Personal Call Manager or the

telephone.

The 9617 telephone and Personal Call Manager are

designed to take full advantage of the latest services

offered by your local telephone company—Caller ID and

Call Waiting ID. (The names of these services may vary

from area to area.)

For more information, refer to

Determining whether you have two

telephone lines on one telephone cord

The 9617 telephone is a two-line telephone. Before you

begin installing it, you need to know how your telephone

lines are set up (you may have two telephone lines on one

telephone cord). If you already know your setup, go to

the next step:

Connecting the cords

on page 7. If you

don’t, follow the steps below ﬁrst.

To determine your telephone line setup:

Connect one end of your telephone cord to the 1

jack on the telephone and the other end to the wall

jack. Ensure nothing is plugged into the 2 jack on

the telephone.

If you have not already done so, connect the small end

of the power adaptor to the jack on the back of

the telephone, and plug the other end into a wall

plug.

Read the telephone display. (If it prompts you to select

a language, follow the directions on the telephone dis-

play to choose your language of choice.)

If only the time and date appear on the telephone display,

you have two telephone lines on the telephone cord.

If the following message appears on the telephone

display, you only have one line on that telephone cord:

Check line cord

Line 2

If you want to combine two lines onto one telephone

cord, contact your telephone company.

Connecting the cords

Proceed with the following steps once you know whether

both telephone lines are on one telephone cord. If you are

not sure, refer to

Determining whether you have two

telephone lines on one telephone cord

on page 6.

To connect the telephone cords:

Pass all cords except the coiled handset cord through

the hole in the base as shown below.

continued...

Route the

handset cord

along this

groove.

2 Connect the telephone cords.

Refer to the illustration of

the telephone jacks on the

right when following these

steps.

You may ﬁnd it helpful to

refer to one of the following

illustrations:

An illustration

of a one telephone-cord

setup

on page 10 or

An illustration of a two

telephone-cord setup

on page 11.

If both telephone lines are on one telephone cord,

plug one end of the telephone cord into the 1 jack,

and plug the other end into the wall jack.

If your telephone lines are on separate telephone

cords, plug one telephone cord into the 1 jack, and

plug the other telephone cord into the 2 jack. Plug

the other ends of the telephone cords into your wall

jacks.

Attach one end of the coiled handset cord to the

handset and the other end to the handset jack. Then

route the handset cord along the groove leading off

the side of the telephone as shown in the illustration

on page 7.

Insert the hooked end of the thick USB cord into the

USB jack on the back of the telephone. Insert the

straight end into the jack at the back of your

computer. continued...

Connect the small end of the power adaptor to the

jack on the back of the telephone, and plug the other

end into a nearby electrical outlet.

To avoid potential electrical shock hazard or damage to

the telephone, use

only

the manufacturer-supplied

equipment and installation procedures. Speciﬁcally, use

only 2 or 4 conductor modular teledapt plug/cords with

this product, and an AC transformer that is CSA/UL or

CSA-NRTL/C approved Class 2, Level C, rated.

Substitution of non-approved equipment will void the

Aastra Telecom warranty.

If you want to attach a fax machine or modem, refer to

Connecting a fax machine or modem to the

telephone

on page 387.

When ready, go to the next step:

Attaching the stand

on page 12.

An illustration of a one telephone-cord setup

In a one telephone-cord setup, two telephone lines (each

with a separate telephone number) are combined into

one telephone cord. If this is your line setup, plug one end

of the telephone cord into the 1 jack, and plug the

other end into the wall jack. (The 2 jack is not used.)
