SYSTEM UPDATES
From time to time, Broadview Networks will make updates to your system via software changes on our network. To ensure
your system is up-to-date with the most current release of software, momentarily disconnect power from the base station
(leave the Ethernet cable connected) and then reapply power. If new software is available, the base station will download it
from Broadview’s servers and install it on the base station and the phones. During the software upgrade process, the base
station LED will blink amber and then blink blue for several minutes. The display on the phones will read Provisioning and
then Rebooting System.
DO NOT REMOVE POWER DURING THE PROCESS. Wait until the LED on the base station glows steady amber for a few
minutes and the phone display has returned to normal before making any calls. You may repeat this process occasionally to
be sure your software is always up-to-date.
Momentarily disconnect power from the base station
(leave the Ethernet cable connected) and then reapply
power. The base station will automatically download
and install new software if a newer version is available. If
newer software is downloading the LED will ash blue.
This process takes 3 to 4 minutes and it is important
that you do NOT remove power again while software
is updated. Wait until the LED is steady amber (not
blinking) for two minutes before making calls.
Connect the other power adapter to the phone
charging cradle and then to a wall outlet no more
than 150 feet from the base station. Place the phone
into the cradle to charge. The initial, full charge may
take up to 15 hours.
