Using handsfree and mute
If the telephone you program has a speaker, you can configure a button that allows the user to
speak to the caller without lifting the handset, or to use a headset instead of the handset. If this
feature is assigned, the system automatically assigns:
• the bottom, right button on the telephone to be the handsfree/mute button on all M-series
telephones and on the 7208 digital phone.
• handsfree-only to the bottom right button for Nortel IP telephones and 7316 digital phones,
which have a separate mute button located under the dial pad.
• handsfree and mute to the buttons located under the dial pad for 7316E digital phones.
• 7406 cordless handsets must have handsfree active or the telephone will not work.
• The 7000 and 7100 digital phones, the 2001 IP telephones and the WLAN IP telephones do
not use this feature.
• Handsfree speaker volume: The handsfree speaker volume returns to the telephone volume
default setting after a call is released.
Track your incoming calls
You can track your calls using these features:
• Call log: If your system has the appropriate equipment and you subscribe to the call
information feature supplied by your service provider, you can record information about calls
received on an external line. The line does not need to be assigned to the telephone that
receives the call for it to be logged (BCM version 3.5 and newer software, passive logging).
Nor does an assigned line need to be a ringing line to log a call. ISDN service packages that
come with calling line identification (CLID) can supply the same feature.
Call Log creates a record of incoming external calls. For each call, the log can contain:
— sequence number in the Call Log
— name and number of the caller
— indication if the call was long distance
— indication if the call was answered and by whom
— time and date of the call
— number of repeated calls from the same source
— name of the line on which the call came

Note: Portable telephones: Your portable telephone may not support this feature, or it
may only support some of the functions of the feature.
