NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

radio frequency energy and, if not installed in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause inter-
ference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

Finally, at the end of the publication, an index provides a detailed ref-
erence to the feature locations.
Index
System to System Network
The system that your IP speakerphone works into can be either a local
stand-alone system or part of a system-to-system network. System-
to-system networking connects several systems together in an
arrangement that allows unified communications throughout the
network. Depending upon the networked system to which your IP
speakerphone contacts (either the host system or one of the node
systems) feature set capability differs. For a complete list of features
and their properties see Appendix E, Feature Networking Support.
Contact your installer to determine whether your system connection
is to a hub or a node system.
Note: Throughout this book, al references to fixed buttons (keypad, DSS/
BLF, SPEAKER, HOLD, etc....) are printed in upper case, italic type; for
example, PRESS INTERCOM.”
Al references to interactive buttons (which are used to make selections on the
speakerphone display) are printed in upper case, bold italic type; for example
“SELECT OPTIONS.”
Also, to eliminate confusion, the text of this guide instructs users to
“PRESS” fixed buttons of the telephone and “SELECT” interactive buttons
as in the examples above. Instructions to “DIAL” refer to numbers or sym-
bols on the keypad.

1. GETTING STARTED
Welcome
Congratulations and thank you for using a Comdial telephone! Your
Internet Protocol (IP) large screen display speakerphone is supported
by a communication system with hundreds of built-in, standard fea-
tures. This manual serves as a helpful guide for using these various
functions.
The sections in this introductory chapter help you initially set up your
speakerphone and become familiar with the controls and indicators.
The remaining sections are titled as follows:
• Setting Up Your Speakerphone
• Understanding the Basic Functions
• Your Speakerphone’s Buttons
• Your Speakerphone’s Display Lights

Getting Started

1.1 Setting Up Your Speakerphone
When your new speakerphone arrives, you or the system installer
must unpack it and make the necessary connections. Comdial publi-
cation IMI81-082, Installing the IP Speakerphone, discusses the tech-
nical installation requirements
Figure 1-1 IP Speakerphone Pedestal
The following paragraphs in this chapter of the user guide describe a
few initial adjustments that, once the station is properly installed, you
can make to allow you to quickly begin making and answering calls
with some of the more basic features.
1.2 Positioning Your Speakerphone
You should adjust the position of the speakerphone on your desk or
table to suit your individual needs and maximize the performance of
the sound activated features. When using your speakerphone, the
microphone and loudspeaker are farther from you than when you use
a handset. Some positioning tips to consider include:
For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet
of it and face the speakerphone.

Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from
operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will
detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems,
or other equipment.
Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do
not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstruc-
tions come between you and the microphone.
Your telephone’s pedestal is adjustable in height to allow you to select
the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the telephone,
the pedestal is in its lowest position—flush against the pedestal.
• To Adjust the Pedestal,
1. Grasp the rear of the pedestal base firmly with one hand and
lift the rear portion of the telephone upward with your other
hand.
Figure 1-2 Adjusting the Pedestal
2. Lift the telephone upward with one hand and raise the tele-
phone supporting arms upward with your other hand.
(Notice there are three sets of notches under the telephone
corresponding to the three positions available.)
3. When the telephone is at the desired height, select the closest
pair of notches and insert the supporting arms in the notches.
Press down slightly on the telephone until you feel the sup-
porting arms snap into place.

at your station.
NOTE: When a call ends, the system resets the speaker and
handset volume of all future calls to the programmed setting.
For instructions in setting your speakerphone’s default volume,
see Volume Control section in the system specific Other
Advanced Features chapter on page.99
