2. GENERAL CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
FIGURE 1 : TOP VIEW OF IQ360

5
FIGURE 1 : BOTTOM VIEW OF IQ360
MULTIFUNCTIONAL INDICATOR LIGHT
There are three different functions:
Ring Indicator: Flashes when the telephone rings with an incoming call
In-Use Indicator: Glows steadily during a call

6
Message-Waiting Indicator: Illuminates when a message is waiting in your voicemail
system (depends on system compatibility). The built-in
Message Waiting option suits any neon (80 VDC) type
message waiting system and also the telephone has
Ericsson BP250 Message Waiting built-in (other system
types are optional extras).
RINGER PITCH CONTROL
The pitch of the ringing sound may be altered by rotating the control.
RINGER VOLUME SWITCH
The three available positions allow selection of OFF (no sound), LOW volume, and
HIGH volume of the telephone's ringing sound during an incoming call.
ALPHA-NUMERIC KEYPAD
The standard numeric digits are available for normal dialing. The alphabetic characters
are provided to allow full access to services that require the entering of numerals and
letters.
CRADLE SWITCH
Located in the handset cradle, this plastic lever is depressed by the handset (when
placed in the cradle) to cut off the line. Note: Depressing this cradle lever too briefly
when intending to terminate a call may result in an accidental "hookflash" that will
inadvertently place the call on hold. This is known as "phantom calls" because the held
call will probably ring again at your extension within a few minutes (the other party will
have hung up, so it will seem as if you were called by a phantom, hence the name
"phantom calls"). If you experience this problem, when terminating your call please
depress the cradle lever a little longer before making/receiving your next call (i.e. it is
not a system or telephone fault).

7
VOLUME SLIDER
Used to adjust the volume of the HANDSET, HEADSET or HANDSFREE hearing level.
Set to midway for normal listening level. Adjustment during a conversation will not be
detected by the other party and does not effect outgoing speech.
RECALL KEY
For use with host telephone systems to invoke special network facilities such as call-
hold or call-transfer available in your system.
For further details please consult your host system manuals or user training service.
Please see the INSTALLATION section for details to adjust the telephone’s Flash time.
HEADSET KEY AND INDICATOR
When the HEADSET KEY is pressed a red indicator will glow to show that the HEADSET
mode is activated.
HANDSFREE KEY AND INDICATOR
When the HEADSET KEY is pressed a red indicator will glow to show that the
HANDSFREE mode is activated.
MUTE KEY AND INDICATOR
When pressed, it cuts off transmission from the handset,handsfree and headset
microphones to allow user privacy. The red light indicates when the mute condition is
active. To release the mute condition press MUTE again.
BASIC OPERATION
IQ360 can be used as a normal telephone; lift the HANDSET to answer an incoming
call, or lift the HANDSET and dial on the KEYPAD to commence an outgoing call.
Please refer to the appropriate sections to learn more about advanced operating
instructions.

8
REDIAL / PAUSE KEY
Redial Function

3. HANDSFREE OPERATION
HANDSFREE MICROPHONE
Located at the front of the phone (Figure 1), its function is to reproduce your voice as
you speak to the other party while your telephone is in HANDSFREE mode. Positioning
of the telephone, and therefore the MICROPHONE, is important to ensure the best
reproduction of your voice.
USING THE HANDSFREE KEY
To commence a HANDSFREE call press the HANDSFREE KEY ; the telephone will
activate the line, the SPEAKER, and the HANDSFREE MICROPHONE, and the
INDICATOR will switch on to provide confirmation. Dialling and speech can then
commence. Pressing the key again will terminate the call.
Incoming calls using HANDSFREE:
1. Telephone rings
2. Press HANDSFREE
3. Commence your HANDSFREE conversation.
Changing from HANDSFREE to HANDSET during a call:
Lift the HANDSET and resume your conversation; the HANDSFREE function will switch
off automatically.
Changing from HANDSET to HANDSFREE during a call:
1. Press HANDSFREE
2. Replace HANDSET
3. Resume your conversation using the handsfree function.

10
Outgoing calls using HANDSFREE (manual or memory dialling):
1. Press HANDSFREE
2. Dial required number on ALPHA-NUMERIC KEYPAD or press desired MEMORY
Key
3. Speak as required.
HINTS FOR HANDSFREE OPERATION
As a courtesy, tell the other party that you are using the Handsfree function. He / She
may or may not want people other than yourself to hear the conversation. A quiet
environment ensures best Handsfree performance. When HANDSFREE is used in a
noisy room or near a noise generating device ( for example, a TV set ) all or part of the
message may be interrupted and cannot be heard. To eliminate this problem try to
lower the noise level in the room.
During the handsfree conversation, your telephone will give priority to the person who
speaks louder when both people are talking simultaneously. Speak ONLY after the
other person pauses or stops.
If the other person complains about poor transmission, talk directly at your telephone
and from a closer distance as necessary, or lower the speaker volume control.
If the operation of the Handsfree feature is not correct, refer to the FAILURE TO
OPERATE section.

11
4. HEADSET OPERATION

SILENT RINGING FEATURE
Designed for Call Centers or any application where call-related noise is to be kept to a
minimum, this feature allows incoming calls to ring silently; the operator is aware of the
incoming call, but the telephone does not add to the room noise.
To use the telephone in Silent Ringing mode:

5. ADVANCED NETWORK OPERATION
Where this telephone is used on an intelligent network such as Easycall, Customnet,
Centel, a PABX or other network the following information may be useful.
PAUSE FUNCTION WHEN DIALLING
Depending on your telephone system, this may or may not be required. If in doubt,
check with your system supplier or Interquartz dealer, as failure to observe your system's
requirements may lead to difficulty in making outgoing external calls. If you have
determined that a pause is required by your host system, please refer to the PAUSE
Function section to ensure correct usage of the PAUSE button.
HOLDING AND TRANSFERRING CALLS
The method used for these functions is dependent on your system type, so you will
need to check your system's Extension User Guide. The RECALL KEY is typically
used to transfer calls. It is affected by the setting of the adjustment switches described
in the INSTALLATION section of this manual. They must be correctly set to suit your
system for correct operation.
USING THE MEMORIES
Many different numbers and codes can be stored. You may find it useful to store some
of your favourite network facility commands in the telephone for fast, convenient access
to those facilities (e.g. diversion, call forward, call back etc). Consult your system User
Guide for the codes that you need to store.

HEADSET MIC ADJUST CONTROL
This control allows many different headsets on theAustralian market to function correctly
with the IQ 360 telephone by adjusting the HEADSET'S Microphone sensitivity . The
control is located on the underside of the telephone. The adjustment can be made by a
small screwdriver or similar implement that will fit into the control slot. Please see
(Table 1) as a guide to the correct settings for most popular headsets.
To make a headset mic level adjustment :
With the headset connected as per the instructions in this manual:
1. Put the headset on and lift the HANDSET to your other ear and make an out-going
call
2. Pressing the HEADSET key, swap between HANDSET and HEADSET mode (The
indicator will illuminate when the HEADSET is in use) a few times while speaking to
the other party
3. With the other party's help decide if your voice level is the same when using the
HANDSET and HEADSET.
If you sound too loud on the headset, adjust the microphone sensitivity (turn anti-
clockwise) so that your voice level when using the HEADSET matches that of the
HANDSET. Clockwise rotation increases the HEADSET mic output level. Please see
(Table 1) as a guide to the correct settings for most popular headsets.
HEADSET POLARITY SWITCH
Located on the underside of the telephone, this switch provides compatibility with the
two commonly-used headset wiring standards.
Position 'V' suits Plantronics Vista Cords and other Headsets wired in the same
configuration (also known as "reversed" wiring mode).
Position 'P' suits Plantronics Pcords and other Headsets wired in the same configuration
(also known as "normal" wiring mode).
Please see (Table 1) as a guide to the correct settings for most popular headsets.
