Here is a view of the bottom of your phones. The most important cable when troubleshooting an issue is the AC power
connection, unplugging this cable from the phone and plugging it back in after a few seconds is called powercycleing.
This is the first thing to try if a phone is malfunctioning, if this does not fix the issue please call us. If you are having audio
issues check to make sure that the Handset cable is plugged all the way in.

Section 2 ~ Making a Call
Making a call is the most essential function of the phone, the most obvious way is to pick up the handset, dial a
telephone number, then press dial. You can also simply press the speakerphone button then dial the number to make a
call on speakerphone. If you want to call someone listed on a line key, simply press the corresponding button to initiate
the call. During a call if you would like to mute your microphone press the Mute button, the button itself will turn red
indicating that you are muted.

Section 3 ~ Ending a Call
There are likewise several options when ending a call, most of which will be described in further detail later in the guide.
The easiest way is to simply hang the handset up or push the speakerphone button if you are using speakerphone. You
can also transfer the call, transfer to voicemail, park the call, or use traditional hold.

Section 4 ~ Call Park
Call Park is a feature that is extremely useful in any business setting. Park works the same a hold, except that when a call
is parked the call is sent to a parking queue, they are named Line 1, Line 2 etc...
These lines will usually take up the first spots on the left side of your directory. When a call is parked the light next to the
line that the call is parked at will illuminate red on every phone in your domain. Anyone in your domain, the people
within your office, can pick the parked call up.
The Park key is a soft key and will only appear during a call. You can also use the traditional hold that appears during a
call, but this will only allow you to retrieve the call from that phone.

Section 5 ~ Transferring a Call
During a call if you wish to transfer the call to someone else you start by pushing the Transfer soft key. After pressing
that key it will allow you to dial the extension or number that you wish to transfer to, it will also have a button that says
lines. When you press the lines button it will bring back your home screen so you can transfer to one of those extensions
by pressing the line key associated with it. Once you select an extension and press send it will call that extension or
number. When the other party answers you can tell them who is calling and then press transfer again to complete the
transfer. If you immediately press transfer after pressing send or hang up it will blind transfer the caller over.
There is also an optional soft key called 2Vmail, if that option is available it will show up during a call as a soft key and
give you the ability to transfer a call directly to an extensions voicemail. Simply press the 2Vmail button and follow the
onscreen instructions. (Enter *9+extension)

Section 6 ~ Conferencing
You can create a three-way conference call by pressing the Conference soft key during a call. During a call press the
Conference button, just like a transfer the caller will be placed on hold while you dial the extension or number that you
wish to start a conference with, once that person answers just push the conference button again to bring the first caller
into the conversation.
