Basic Features

6. BASIC FEATURES
The following sections describe the basic features of the IP 706 and IP 712 phones. Each section describes
a different feature, explains how it is accessed, its purpose, and the appearance of the LCD screen. To get
the most from the IP phone, it is recommended that you review this section in its entirety before using your
phone.

Using the Handset, Headset, and Speaker

When answering or placing a call, three options are available to connect with the other party: the handset,
the headset, or the speaker.
Enabling the Headset
Before using the headset, make sure it is connected to the proper jack in the back of the phone as shown in
Figure 3 on page 16. The IP phone will automatically detect the headset during active calls.
Enabling the Headset Switch Hook
You must enable the Headset Switch Hook option on your IP phone to utilize the on/off button on certain
headsets. See your headset documentation to verify this is necessary. Once the Headset Switch Hook has
been enabled, the IP phone will automatically detect the headset during active calls. To enable the Headset
Switch Hook, use the following steps:
1. Press Menu.
2. Press 2 for Phone Settings.
3. Press 0 for Misc.
4. Press 1 for Headset Switch Hook.
5. Scroll to On and press the Select soft key.
6. Press the Ok soft key or OK on the navigation bar.
7. Press the Exit soft key until the idle screen appears, or press CANCEL on the navigation bar to
return directly to the idle screen.

Making Calls

Making a call is a simple procedure and can be accomplished using the handset, headset, or speaker. Use
the following steps to make a call:
1. Pick up the handset, or press the speaker key.
If making a call using the headset, begin at Step 3 since the phone will automatically
detect the use of the headset. Enabling the Headset Switch Hook is only necessary to
enable the on/off button functionality on certain headsets (refer to your headset
documentation).
2. Listen for the dial tone.
3. Dial the desired number.
