Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the E3 e-m@iler. The machine combines a multitude of
features including telephone, handsfree-speakerphone, videophone, email sender/
receiver, text message sender/receiver, fax sender, internet web surfer, games
console, VoiceMail answering machine and electronic Address Book.
As well as normal telephone and handsfree-speakerphone facilities, your e-m@iler
incorporates a videophone so that you can make video calls (to other E3 e-m@ilers)
and see the person you’re speaking to on the colour LCD screen.
Your e-m@iler allows you to send and receive email messages. Messages can be
typed using the pull-out keyboard and are displayed on the screen. You can send email
messages with photo and/or voice attachments as well as receive or forward
messages with graphics and sound attachments. You can also leave memos for other
users (or yourself). Memos are free of charge and may include a photo and/or voice
message.
Additionally, your e-m@iler allows you to send text messages or picture messages to
mobile phones and receive text and picture replies. On top of this, you can also send
fax messages – this enables you to communicate with people who aren't on email but
do have a fax machine.
Your e-m@iler features Amsurf which opens up the wide world of the internet to your
screen. You can 'log on' and surf the many thousands of low-graphics internet web
sites as well as a number of full web sites. All this provides a vast library of online
information for you to browse. If you’ve connected a printer, you can print web pages.
Your e-m@iler also provides a varied and regularly updated library of games – all you
have to do is choose a game, download it and play it. You can have several games
downloaded in the e-m@iler at one time. To make gameplay faster, easier and more
fun, a GamePad is provided. The GamePad is a handheld games controller which
simply plugs into the e-m@iler and keyboard.
The Address Book section of this machine replaces your old hand-written book of
names and numbers etc. You can programme up to 700 names in the Address Book
memory, and under each name store a home number, office number, mobile number
and fax number as well as an email address and postal address. Once programmed,
you simply type in a name so it appears on the display and then press the appropriate
button to dial the number or compose an email, text or fax message.
The e-m@iler has downloadable polyphonic ringtones and can be set to play the tune
of your choice whenever the phone rings. The built-in answering machine – VoiceMail
– stores incoming messages and memos. You can listen to your VoiceMail messages
either at the e-m@iler itself or by phone from another location. Note that VoiceMail is
digital and therefore tapeless – you can select and play messages instantly.

Introduction
- 5 -
IMPORTANT – The e-m@iler must be powered all the time.
Note that the e-m@iler cannot make or receive telephone
calls without power.
Make sure you are not solely dependent on the e-m@iler to
make or receive emergency calls during a power failure.
About this book
Please take the time to read this book thoroughly. If you skip certain chapters, the
e-m@iler will not operate.
&You will find notes and tips in lighter text throughout this book – look out for
the &sign. Once you become familiar with the e-m@iler, you can ignore the
notes and tips.
➣ FAST TRACK: For many of the procedures in this book there are fast track
instructions to show you quickly which keys to press and what action to
take. Use the fast track instructions if you don't require in-depth help.
♦ You will also find a useful index at the back of this book.
Ready to register
NOTE – The registration procedure must be carried out
otherwise the e-m@iler will not work at all – you will not be
able to make outgoing phone calls or receive incoming
phone calls.
If you've previously owned an e-m@iler and wish to use an existing email address at
@amserve.com or @amserve.net, then do not carry out the registration
procedure ahead. Instead, go to the section entitled 'Adopting an old e-m@iler account'
on page 132.

Installation

Installation
After unpacking the e-m@iler, please retain all packaging in case you ever
need to transport the unit or return it for repair.
Installation notes
NOTE - The e-m@iler is designed for installation in UK only.
The e-m@iler will cease to operate unless it remains
connected to a suitable telephone exchange.
Do not install the e-m@iler in an excessively hot, cold, damp or dusty environment. The
e-m@iler is intended for indoor use only (operating temperature: 5°C – 40°C). Locate
the e-m@iler close to both mains supply and telephone line sockets. For optimum
videophone picture quality, make sure the room is well lit, but do not position the
e-m@iler with its screen directly facing a sunlit window.
The mains supply adaptor provided with the e-m@iler must be used only on the
following mains supply:
MAC 230V ¶50HzM
(Note the mains supply adaptor is packed in a small box within the main carton.)
The e-m@iler must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Never place objects filled
with liquids (such as vases) close to the unit. If liquid is accidentally spilt or splashed on
the unit, disconnect the mains adaptor from the supply socket immediately and consult
your dealer.
No naked flame sources (such as lighted candles) should be placed on or near the
e-m@iler.
7
WARNING – If the e-m@iler is subjected to a high voltage electrostatic
discharge, the unit may reset, as if just switched on. In these
circumstances any temporary information (for example, a partly
composed message) will be lost, as is the case after a power
interruption. Any stored messages and Address Book entries will not be
affected, however.

Installation
- 7 -
Connections
1. Remove all the plastic packaging from
the e-m@iler.
2. The e-m@iler is supplied with the
screen display laid flat. Once you have
unpacked the unit, tilt the display up to
a suitable position. During use, you can
adjust this position to achieve the
optimum viewing angle.
3. Place the handset into position.
4. The trailing wire from the back of the e-m@iler connects to your
telephone line – plug it into your phone socket on the wall.
♦ Alternatively, if you have a fax machine, leave the fax machine plugged into your
phone socket on the wall, and plug the e-m@iler into the phone socket on the fax
machine itself. (Only fax machines that include a phone socket are usable with
the e-m@iler.)
5. Slide the keyboard out from under the front
of the e-m@iler and carefully remove its
plastic packaging. Note the keyboard
comes ready-connected to the e-m@iler.
The GamePad should be fitted between the
e-m@iler and the keyboard. If you wish to
connect the GamePad, first unplug the
keyboard (see right):
Note, to remove the keyboard plug, squeeze
together its outer tabs and gently pull out
the plug. Before reconnecting the keyboard
plug, always make sure that its central lug
is face up.
Never force the plug into the keyboard.

Installation
- 8 -
Plug the GamePad connector into the keyboard, then plug the e-m@iler into the
GamePad connector (see below).
&Remember – before inserting the plugs, make sure their central lugs are
face up. Never use force when inserting the plugs.
Later, you can remove the GamePad and reconnect the e-m@iler directly to the
keyboard. When the GamePad is not connected, the keyboard may be slid back under
the front of the e-m@iler.
For further information on the GamePad, see page 112.
♦ If you wish to add a printer or smartcard see Advanced settings page 119.
6. Unpack the mains supply adaptor from its box – don't plug the adaptor into the
mains supply just yet!
Plug the lead from the mains supply adaptor
firmly into the POWER socket at the back of
the phone. Pass the wire around the 'hook'
beside the socket (see right) to prevent
it becoming unplugged if the lead is
accidentally tugged.
Y
WARNING – Use only the mains supply adaptor provided. Using
any other adaptor may damage the e-m@iler and will invalidate the
warranty.
The e-m@iler is now ready to switch on. If you haven't already done so, remove
the plastic films protecting the display.
