Vodafone | snom 821 User Guide
Before using this device for the rst time, please make sure you take the
time to read the instructions on phone safety and disposal, as well as the
information in this guide about how to set up and use your phone. Please also
be sure to share this information with other phone users.
Important Information
Safety Instructions
When using your snom 821, please be sure to follow the user instructions in
this manual and other applicable documentation.
This device is for indoor use only!
As with all electric items, care should be taken to keep your phone away
from damp and liquids. Don’t install the phone in a room with high humidity
(for example, in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or damp basements). Also, don’t
immerse your phone in water and be careful not to spill or pour liquids of any
kind onto or into it.
Don’t install your phone in surroundings that are at risk of explosions (in paint
shops, for example) and don’t use the phone in any environment if you smell
gas or other potentially explosive fumes.
Don’t use your phone during thunderstorms: lightning striking the power grid
may cause electric shocks.
Your snom 821 phone is CE and FCC-certied and meets European and
US health, safety and environmental standards. Unauthorised opening,
changing, or modifying of your phone will cause the warranty to lapse
and may also result in the lapse of the CE and FCC certications. In case of
malfunction contact Vodafone Customer Services on 40084.

Phone installation – connecting the handset
Setting up your phone
The initial set up for your snom 821 phone will have been carried out
by a Vodafone One Net engineer, so your phone should already be
correctly installed and working. However, the information within this
section of the guide will be of help if a phone in your organisation
needs to be moved to another location, or swapped with another
device, in which case this guide will help you connect the right cables
in the correct locations.
1. Connect one end of the handset’s cable to the handset and the other end
to the jack (socket) on the back of your phone, labelled
2. Once you’ve connected the cable, push it into the groove in the lower
right-hand corner of the back of your phone. This helps to stop it from
being accidentally pulled out, and also ensures the footstand, when tted,
will be ush to the back of the device.

3. Next, attach the footstand, using the screws provided.
4. Once the footstand has been tted, plug the Ethernet (network) cable into
the RJ45 socket on the back of the phone (labelled “NET”). Then plug the
other end of the cable into one of your company’s LAN (Local Area Net
work) sockets to establish a data link.
5. If you want to use a headset, connect it to the RJ audio socket (labelled
‘EHS’ – External Handset).
6. Finally, before use, place your phone on an even, horizontal surface.
The second RJ45 socket (to the left of the ‘NET’ socket, labelled “PC”),
is used to plug another handset into, if you need to connect multiple
phones to your network in a ‘daisy chain’ (i.e. without using additional
Ethernet connections).

Vodafone | snom 821 User Guide
1. Connect your phone to your company’s LAN or to your router.
2. Don’t touch any of the keys while registration and initialisation are taking
place. This process can take up to 10 minutes.
3. If your phone has been successfully registered, the display shows a tick
with the phone ID.
Shown here is an example of a successful registration, indicated with a ‘tick’
symbol and the name and extension number of the phone. This is a typical
registration indication, but please note that the detail on your display may
differ, depending on settings specied for your company.
Initialisation
All snom phones are ‘plug-and-play’, so there’s very little set-up
involved. Additionally, as already outlined, your Vodafone One Net
engineer will already have initialised the device set up for your
company, so in most cases your phone will have been registered and
initialised before you start to use it. However, if you’re ever asked to
initialise your phone, these are the steps to follow:

Vodafone | snom 821 User Guide
If, for some reason, registration or initialisation are unsuccessful, or if the
phone is not operating correctly, contact Vodafone Customer Services by
dialling 40084 or by logging into ‘My Account’ on www.vodafone.co.uk and
following the ‘help’ links.
To see a reminder of how to contact Vodafone for help and support with your
phone, simply press the ‘Help’ button, which will bring up the
following details:
