GETTING STARTED
The 6869i must be set up and be configured prior to its first use. This section describes phone
behavior and start up screens you may see when the phone is first plugged in, or when it is
restarted.
PLUGGING IN AND STARTING THE PHONE
The 6869i automatically begins the start up sequence as soon as it is connected. The phone
goes through this process the first time you plug in your phone and every time you restart your
phone.
The phone displays the following startup screens.
The 6869i phone then checks settings and looks for new configuration and firmware updates
from a configuration server. This may take a few moments while the phone downloads the latest
updates.
Note: New updates to your phone can be automatically scheduled from the server. This
is set up on the phone system by your System Administrator and should be scheduled
during non-business hours or slow call periods.

If your phone successfully connects to the network, the phone will go directly to the Home
screen.
If your phone did not successfully connect to the network, the Network Disconnected prompt
appears on the display, and the telephone status light turns on.
Check that the cables are tightly connected to the phone and to the wall jack. The phone should
automatically detect when it is reconnected and remove the Network Disconnected prompt
from the screen. However, if changes have been made to your phone’s network settings, you
may need to restart your phone. Check with your System or Network Administrator for
assistance.
For more information about connecting your phone, see the Mitel 6869i IP Phone Installation
Guide.
