Basic Operation
Setup Telephone
First, connect the network cable to the network and the other end to the telephone and
then plug the AC power adapter into an AC outlet and the telephone. (If you are using
power-over-Ethernet, there is no need to use the AC power adaptor.) When the LCD
display says,
Ready
, the telephone is ready to use. If you have not already, you should
now set the administrative password for the configuration web site (see section,
Configuration Web Site).
Making Calls
To make a call, pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER/HEADSET key when you are
not in a call and there is not an incoming call, then do one of the following.
1. Press the DIAL/REDIAL key.
2. Find an entry in your phonebook using the VOL keys and dial it by pressing the DIAL/
REDIAL key.
3. Enter a telephone number using the numeric keys on the keypad followed by
pressing the # or DIAL/REDIAL key. Note that your telephone must be configured to use
a SIP proxy or registrar (see the section, Web Configuration Site) for the latter,
keypad-dialing, method to work. Moreover, if your telephone has been configured to
use a dial plan (see the section, Web Configuration Site), the call will be placed
automatically when you have entered enough digits.
4. To make a call to a SIP URL that you enter using the telephone keypad, first make
sure the handset is onhook and the telephone is not in speakerphone mode (this is
different than making a call by one of the other methods). Press the MENU/HANGUP key,
select
Dial SIP URL
, enter the SIP URL you want to call, and press the DIAL/
REDIAL key. Your telephone is then placed into speakerphone mode and the call is
placed.
Answering Calls
To answer an incoming call, pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER/HEADSET key.
An incoming call is indicated by the telephone ringing (if the ringer volume has not been
turned all the way down) and by
Caller:
followed by the Caller ID (CID) appearing in
the LCD display.
Disconnecting
To terminate a speakerphone call, press the SPEAKER/HEADSET key; otherwise, place
the handset in the cradle on the base.
Setting Volume
When the handset is onhook and the telephone is not in speakerphone mode, you can
change the volume of the ringer by pressing the VOL
p
key to increase the volume and
the VOL
q
key to decrease the volume. When the handset is offhook or the telephone
is in speakerphone mode, you can change the volume of the handset or base speaker,
respectively, in the same way.
Redial
To automatically place the last call again, pick up the handset or press SPEAKER/
HEADSET and then press the DIAL/REDIAL key.
