Returning To The Headset After A Long Delay; Using Hands Free Active On Intercom - 3Com NBX 900-0208 Telephone Manual

Returning to the
Headset After a
Long Delay
Using Hands Free
Active on Intercom
Certain brands of headsets enter a power-saving mode that prevents the
telephone from ringing for one or more calls when both of these
circumstances are true:
The headset amplifier buttons for Mute and On are both set to On.
The handset is off the phone for a long time (for instance, overnight).
It may take a few minutes for your headset to return from the
power-saving mode to the active mode when calls first come in, so your
telephone may not ring until the headset has returned to active mode,
and you may miss a call.
If you plan to not use the headset for a long time (for instance,
overnight), 3Com recommends that you set the mute and headset
buttons on the amplifier to Off and hang up the handset on your
telephone. When you are ready to receive calls again, set up the headset
for receiving calls:
1 Pick up the handset on your telephone and set it on your desk.
2 Put on the headset. On the amplifier, set the headset button to On.
You can use your phone as an intercom. You can answer internal
(intercom) calls without picking up the handset. When you receive an
internal call, your telephone sounds a tone and activates the speaker
phone.
An external call (a call from outside your NBX system) rings to your
telephone as usual.
To enable Hands Free Active on Intercom on a 3Com Manager's
Telephone:

2 Scroll to Handsfree.
3 Press Select.
