Chapter 2: Before Using Your Handset

When you first receive your handset, you need to fully charge the Battery Pack in order to maximize the
Battery Pack's storage capacity and lifespan. You may also need to familiarize yourself with turning the
handset on and off and learn about the various audio options available to you. Additionally, your facility
may have security standards that require you to enter your unique credentials, such as a domain name,
user name, and password, so that the handset will correctly register with your system. This chapter
covers all of these subjects.

Charging the Battery Pack for the First Use

End key for about two seconds to power up and power down the handset.
Do not remove the Battery Pack to power off the handset, as you will lose personal data. If
you need to replace the Battery Pack, log off or power off the handset and then remove
the Battery Pack.

Using the Headsets and Speakerphone

The Speaker soft key gives you access to the following audio options:
• Speakerphone You can direct audio through the speakerphone on the back of the handset. Use
the volume buttons on the left side of the handset to adjust the volume.
• Receiver The receiver speaker is the default speaker you use when you hold the handset to your
ear. If another option is in use, return to the Receiver by selecting Receiver from the Speaker soft
key menu.
