Getting Started
Comfort and Safety Tips
Observe the following comfort and safety tips when using the IP phone:
•
Do not cradle the handset: Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder, or
back discomfort, especially if you cradle the handset between your neck and shoulder. If
you frequently use the IP phone, you might find a headset more comfortable. See “Using a
Headset” on
.
•
Adjust the viewing angle: The built-in stand tilts to give you a better view of the buttons.
See “Adjusting the Viewing Angle” on
•
Protect your hearing: Because prolonged exposure to loud sounds can contribute to
hearing loss, keep the volume at a moderate level. You can adjust the volume levels of the
handset receiver or headset. See “Changing Volume Levels” on
Using a Headset
When using a headset, press
(Speaker) to connect to or disconnect from calls. The
Headset icon
appears when the headset is in use. You cannot use the handset or
speakerphone when the IP phone is in Headset Mode. Disconnecting the headset automatically
enables the handset.
To connect and activate the headset:
1. Insert the headset jack into the Headset port
located on the back of the IP phone.
2. Dial
317
(Headset on/off). HEADSET MODE ON appears.
To turn off Headset Mode and activate the handset and speakerphone:
Dial 317
(Headset on/off). HEADSET MODE OFF appears.
NOTES
The headset must be hearing aid compatible (HAC).
If your headset has a power-saver mode, make sure the system administrator has
enabled the “Headset Connect Tone” feature. If this is not enabled, you may miss
the first few seconds of an incoming call.
NOTE
Because Headset Mode disables the handset and speakerphone, you
must turn off Headset Mode before you can use the handset or
speakerphone.
