Need to Move Your IP Phone?
One advantage of IP phones is that they are usually simple to move.
You should select a location near a network outlet (and near an AC
electrical outlet if your phone has an AC adapter). You may or may not
need assistance to move your IP phone (see below).
If you do NOT have a black AC power adapter connected to your IP
phone then your phone is receiving power from the network closet and
you should submit a Technology Work Request (TWR) to have a
technician assist you. The TWR should clearly identify (1) the telephone
to be moved, (2) its current location, and (3) the intended destination
(room & location within the room).
If you have a black AC power adapter connected to your IP phone
then you have the option to relocate your phone without the assistance
of a technician. You will need to move (1) your IP phone, (2) your AC
power adapter & power cord, and (3) your network patch cable. Use the
patch cable to connect the 10/100 SW outlet on the back of your IP
phone to an orange network wall outlet. In addition, you may also
connect a computer to the 10/100 PC outlet on your IP phone. Note: To
avoid problems computers should be logged off or shut down before
network cables are disconnected.

When your phone rings and the red Handset Light is blinking you are
receiving a call. To answer the call, lift the handset (for privacy) or press

necessary, press the flashing Line button of the incoming call to select
that line. If a second call comes in, press the Navigation button ()
down, then press the [Answer] softkey. This automatically places the
first call on hold and answers the second call.

key before dialing. You may also dial the number first then press the

dialed from your phone.
Ending Calls
If you are using the handset then you can simply hang up the phone to
end a non-speakerphone call. If you are using the speakerphone then
you can press the Speaker button to end the call. Pressing the [EndCall]
softkey will end either type of call.
Selected Phone Features
Hold: To place a caller on hold, press the [Hold] softkey.
