Chapter 1
Introduction
Gold Line Group is proud to announce its revolutionary new product, Gold Line Video
IP Phone (GL
VID O
Phone); a state-of-the-art IP based telephony service with video
screen, superb sound and video quality that is used with your Internet connection.
GL
VID O
Phone is a telephone that operates over Internet rather than over telephone
lines. It is a voice over IP (VoIP) telephone service that converts voice and video into
IP packets and vice versa. Because it is VoIP, telephone calls are very cost effective
and can be made from wherever an Internet connection is available.
When you subscribe to GL Phone for the first time, you will receive a package
containing the following items:
Phone (IP Phone + Handset)
Power Adaptor (Input: 100-240V~,
50- 0Hz, Output: +5 VDC, 1.2A, W)
Network Cable (RJ-45)
Handset Cord

Connection Setup
Three ways of Connection Setup
There are 3 different ways to setup and connect the GL phone, depending on
your Internet connection type.
a.
Integrated Router/DSL Modem Connection
If you have an integrated router/DSL modem, connect the devices as shown
in the diagram below. Remember that there is no need to change the
configuration of your IP Phone.
-
-
b.
DSL Modem Connection
If you connect to the Internet through your telephone line (DSL modem),
connect your IP phone as shown below. One RJ-45 cable connects the DSL
modem to the LAN port in your IP phone and another RJ-45 cable connects
your PC or LAPTOP to the internet through the PC port/socket of your IP
Phone.
-

-
To configure your IP Phone using a DSL Modem connection, please call GL Phone
customer service and follow the instructions provided by one of the representatives.
c.
Direct Internet Connection
If you connect to the Internet directly through a wall jack via a RJ-45 cable,
simply connect the wall jack to the LAN port of your IP Phone and connect
your PC to Internet via another RJ-45 cable through the PC port of the IP
Phone. Remember that there is no need to change the configuration for this
type of connection.

Chapter 5
911 Registration
GL Phone service does not support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency
services. We offer a feature known as "911 Dialing" which is a limited emergency
calling service that differs from traditional 911 or E911 emergency services calling.
You should familiarize yourself with the contents of this page and follow all necessary
requirements and directions. Failure to do so could result in unavailability of 911
services.
Our “911 Dialing” feature is not automatic. In order to activate the “911 Dialing”
feature, you must take affirmative steps to register the address where you will be
using your GL Phone. You must do this for each GL Phone number that you obtain.
When you move your GL Phone to another location, you must register the new
location through our web page. If you do not register your new location, any calls
you make using the 911 dialing feature may be sent to an emergency centre near
your old address. When traveling with your GL Phone, you should be aware that the
call center that answers 911 calls will only have access to your previously registered
addresses; therefore, you must be able to provide the 911 call center with your
current location.
We contract a third party to use the address of your registered location to determine
the nearest emergency response centre. They then forward your call to a general
number at that centre. When the centre receives your call, the operator may not
have your address and/or phone number. You must therefore provide your address
and phone number in order to get help. You hereby authorize us to disclose your
name and address to third-party service providers, including, without limitation, call
routers, call centers and public service answering points, for the purpose of
dispatching emergency services personnel to your registered location.
Please be aware that GL Phone requires an internet connection at all times in order
to operate. Therefore, any interruptions to your internet connection and/or power
failure will result in unavailability of the service, which will include 911 dialing. Please
visit our Terms of Services for complete details about 911 calling, its requirements
and limitations on liability.
How to Register
1. First type the address below in the address bar of internet browser
https://shop.goldline.net/glipfone/home.asp
2. Click on the Registration on the left bar
3. Enter you pin number
4. On new page, provide your First Name, Last Name, Street Number, Apt/Suite,
Street Name, Town/City, Province, Postal Code
5. Read the 911 Terms of Service and click on “I Agree”
. Click on Submit

By accepting the Terms of Service, the Customer acknowledges and understands the
following:
♦ 911 Services are not automatically set for this phone service and it is the
responsibility of the Customer to activate such services.
♦ It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that his/her family and
other potential users of this Service are aware as to how to use the 911

aware of his/her current address at all times.
♦ The Customer acknowledges and understands that calls made using this
911 service will be routed to a Call Center, Public Safety Answering Point
or Emergency Local Service and that it is the Customer's responsibility
that accurate and detailed information, including but not limited to the
EXACT LOCATION of the Customer is provided to the 911 router and that
failure to do as such may significantly increase the response time for the
emergency service to be provided or may result in the failure of 911
services to the Customer.
♦ The Customer acknowledges that 911 Services may not be available on a
24/7 basis.
♦ 911 services are only available for Customers who have subscribed to our
prepaid LD services and can make calls to non-GLipfones. Service is NOT
available if the Customer has ONLY subscribed to basic IP-to-IP calling.
♦ The Customer further acknowledges that the Provider cannot be held
liable for any interruptions in phone service for any reason whatsoever.
♦ Acceptance of the Services provided by the Provider to the Customer shall
be deemed acceptance of the terms and conditions as to the availability of
911 Services as provided hereunder and as to the limits of liability
imposed hereunder.

Making Telephone Calls
1.
Handset, Speakerphone and Headset Mode
Handset can be switched between speaker (hands-free) and headset mode.
However, when headset is plugged in, speaker mode will automatically switch to
headset mode. To switch between modes, press either the hook flash in the
handset cradle or the speaker button.
2.
Multiple SIP Accounts and Lines
GL Phone can support up to 3 independent lines. Each of the 3 LINE buttons (1-
3) is “virtually” mapped to each phone number. When phone is off hook and user
chooses an idle line, the number of the line will be displayed on the LCD while a
dial tone is played out.
Upon choosing one of the three lines for an outgoing call, the LED indicator will
light up in solid red color. User can switch to a different line before dialing a
number by pressing the same LINE button one or more times. If user continues
pressing that line, the selected account will circulate among the registered lines.
If a phone number is configured and registered, all incoming calls for that
number will attempt to use its corresponding LINE, if it is not in use. When the
“virtually” mapped line is in use, the next available LINE will flash in red color
(from left to right).
A LINE is defined as “ACTIVE” when it is making or receiving a call, and its
corresponding LINE LED will light up in solid RED.
3.
Making Calls
There are three ways to make phone calls:
1. Off hook the Handset/Speaker/Headset or select a LINE by pressing an
available LINE key. The corresponding LED will light up in solid red. Enter
phone number and press the SEND key.
2. Off hook the Handset/Speaker/Headset or select a LINE by pressing an
available LINE key. The corresponding LED will light up in solid red. Press
the SEND button to redial the last number called.
3. Press OK to bring up the Main Menu and select Phone Book. Browse phone
book to find the number you want to dial. Press OK to select and OK
again when Dial is selected. The call will dial out in SPEAKER mode. (At
the present time, this only applies to LINE 1)
NOTE:
• Once off hook and number is entered, the number being dialed will be displayed on
the LCD as a dialing tone is played out.
• If the phone number is not followed by pressing the “ END” button, there will be a
4 second pause before the call is initiated.
4.
Call Hold
To put the other party on hold while in a call, press the “HOLD” button. User can
resume the conversation by pressing the corresponding blinking LINE again. If
-
14
-
user is already in conversation and presses another available LINE for making or
receiving other phone calls, the current call will automatically be put on HOLD.
5. Call Waiting and Switching between Calls
GL Phone can switch to another line for making or answering calls and
automatically put an ACTIVE call on HOLD.
When receiving second or more incoming calls, user will hear a stutter Call
Waiting tone, while the call is sent to the corresponding or to the next available
LINE as described in this manual.
6. Call Transfer (Only works in Audio mode)
GL Phone supports both BLIND and ATTENDED Transfer:
1. Blind Transfer: When in conversation”, press “TRNF”. After hearing a dial
tone, dial the preferred number and press “SEND”. This will transfer the other
party on the corresponding LINE to the dialed number.
2. Attended Transfer: When in conversation with an “ACTIVE” LINE, press “TRNF”
and then press the preferred blinking LINE that is on “HOLD”. If there is no call
on HOLD, user will need to make a call and thus automatically put the current
ACTIVE LINE on HOLD.
7. Conference Calling (Only works in Audio mode)
GL Phone supports 3-way conferencing. With one LINE ACTIVE and another LINE
on HOLD, pressing the CONF button followed by pressing the LINE that is on
HOLD will join the three parties together in a conference.
If after pressing the “CONF” button, a user decides not to conference anyone,
pressing CONF or the original LINE button will cancel the conference and resume
the conversation. If the conference holder wishes to end a conference, pressing
the HOLD button will break the conference and place both parties on hold. User
can then talk to each individual party by selecting the corresponding LINES.
8. Checking Messages and Message Waiting Indicator
When GL Phone is on-hook, pressing the MSG button will trigger the phone to call
the Voicemail center. If a line is selected first, the Voicemail Account configured
for that line will be dialed. The MWI (Message Waiting Indicator) LED will blink in
red when there is a message waiting.
9. Mute and Delete
When in conversation with an ACTIVE LINE, pressing “MUTE/DEL” will mute the
conversation (the red icon will blink in the LCD as a reminder that call is muted).
You can hear the other party but the other party will not be able to hear you.
Pressing the button again will resume the conversation. When dialing a number
or during the Key Pad “MAIN MENU” configuration mode, pressing “MUTE/DEL”
will delete the last entered digit.
When phone is idle, pressing the MUTE/DEL” key will function as a shortcut to
Enable or Disable “Do Not Disturb”. When enabled, the red icon (Do Not Disturb)
will blink in the LCD to remind user “Do Not Disturb” is activated. When there is
an incoming call, pressing the Mute/Delete key while phone is ringing will REJECT
the incoming call. The server will tell caller that user is busy and/or forward the
call to Voicemail if server supports this feature and is properly configured.

-
10. Camera Block
User can press the “CAMERA BLOCK” key to Disable or Enable sending video
out when in video call. If no video call is desired (privacy), user can press this
button and make Audio Only call. When CAMERA BLOCK key is pressed, a red
blocked camera will blink in the LCD to remind user that call is not in video
mode and that camera is blocked.
