Speakerphone
Using the Handset
The handset on your Cisco IP Phone functions in the same way as a handset on a traditional phone:
• To place and answer calls with the handset, simply lift the handset.
To hang up, place the handset back in its cradle.
•
• To switch from the handset to the speakerphone, press the Speaker button on the front of your phone
during a call, then hang up the handset.

Adjusting the Handset Rest

If you mount your Cisco IP Phone on the wall or use the footstand on the phone, you can adjust the handset
rest to ensure the receiver will not slip out of the cradle.

Using the Speakerphone
You can use the speakerphone in conjunction with all of the features on your Cisco IP Phone.
To place and answer calls using the speakerphone, press the Speaker button.
To switch from speakerphone to handset during a call, simply lift the handset.
Using the Headset
You can use the headset in conjunction with all of the features on your Cisco IP Phone, including the
Volume and Mute buttons. Use these buttons to adjust the volume to the ear piece and to mute the speech
path from the headset microphone.
To place and answer calls using a headset, plug an approved headset into the back of the phone base and
press the Headset button on the front of your phone.
Set the handset aside and use your thumb and finger to grasp and pull out
the square plastic tab in the handset rest.
Rotate the tab 180 degrees.
Slide the tab back into the handset rest with the extension protruding from
the top of the tab.
Replace the handset in the rest. The tab hooks into a slot in the handset to
ensure that the handset will not slip out of the rest.
