16. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm.
There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
17. Do not use the expansion module or its connected telephone to report a
gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark

with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the
expansion module into a power outlet if the expansion module is located in
an environment containing concentrations of ammable or ame-supporting
gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment
could create a re or explosion. Such environments might include: medical
use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning
solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
18. The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or oor
mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is
plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
19. Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.
Power adapter rating: 5 Vdc @ 2 A
20. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the

Connecting the ET6 to the VTech phone
This section assumes that your network infrastructure is established and that
your IP PBX phone service has been ordered and congured for your location.
For more information about installation options and phone setup, see the ET6
User Guide, available at businessphones.vtech.com.
You can connect one, two, or three ET6 expansion modules to any phone of
the ET6xx series with a USB port. The rst expansion module is supplied with
power by the phone via the module’s USB cable. The second module requires
a separately available power adapter (see “Technical Specications” on page
15). The third expansion module is supplied with power by the second module
via the third module’s USB cable.
The connector is used to connect the footstand of the rst ET6 to the footstand of
the phone, the second ET6 to the rst one, and the third ET6 to the second one
in the daisy-chain. On either side of the connector there are “hooks” (Fig. 5) that
t into the slideguides on the footstand (see Fig.1 in “Attaching the Footstand”
on page 8). Insert one of the “hooks” in the slideguide of the footstand of
the phone or ET6 and the other one in the slideguide of the footstand on the
adjoining ET6, then sled the connector downward until the “hooks” lock into
place.

Connecting one ET6 expansion module
• Insert the USB plug attached to the cable of the VTech ET6 into the USB port
on the VTech phone. If the phone has two USB ports, either one of them can
be used (Fig. 6 and Fig. 7).
The LEDs on the ET6 expansion module will light up briey if or when the
phone is connected to power, then turn o, indicating that the function keys
are now ready for conguration and/or use.
If the ET6 expansion module is not listed in Settings > Preferences >
Fkeys > Keys on UXM 1, reboot the phone.
