Welcome to the Spectralink
84-Series Handsets
This chapter introduces Spectralink 84-Series handsets used with Spectralink Software version
4.2.0 and above.
The Spectralink family of handsets provides a powerful, yet flexible wireless IP communications
solution for Ethernet TCP/IP networks. Not only do the handsets deliver excellent voice quality,
but also come with a high-resolution graphic display screen for call information, multiple
languages, directory access, and system status. The handsets can also support advanced
functionality, including multiple call and flexible line appearances, HTTPS secure provisioning,
presence, custom ringtones, and local conferencing.
Note: Indoor use only
This device is intended for indoor use only.
Caution: Product compatibility/safety
Spectralink 84-Series handsets are intended for operation only with Spectralink 84-
Series battery packs and Spectralink 84-Series chargers. These Spectralink
components are critical to product safety certification and may not be substituted.
Representative samples of the Spectralink 84-Series handsets, battery packs and
chargers have been tested as a complete system by an independent testing
organization and have been certified by that organization to meet applicable safety
standards. Use or operation of the Spectralink 84-Series handsets with batteries or
chargers other than those authorized by Spectralink has not been tested or safety
certified. Spectralink 84-Series handsets, battery packs or chargers used or
operated with products not authorized by Spectralink are not covered by the
Spectralink Limited Product Warranty.
Caution: Use authorized components only
Only Spectralink 84-Series battery packs and Spectralink 84-Series chargers are
authorized for use or operation with Spectralink 84-Series handsets.
Only Spectralink 84-Series battery packs are authorized for use or operation with a
Spectralink 84-Series charger and are not authorized to be used or operated in any
other charger.
Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Telephones were originally developed in conjunction with
Polycom Inc. In September 2012 the Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Telephone software code
and Polycom UCS deskset software code were split into two separate streams. The same code
no longer serves both Spectralink Wireless Telephones and Polycom wired desksets.
