Group Hunting

Your telephone can be included in one or several hunt groups. In a hunt group all members are represented with one common directory number. 16 hunt groups can be programmed, each containing 1 to 20 members. A member can be either an extension number, an operator console or a fictive number. Please ask your system administrator if you require this function.
Incoming calls to the hunt group are directed to free extensions in the group. The hunt order within the group can be changed to suit your needs. If all members of the hunt group are busy, an incoming call is being queued.

Networking

Networking is the connection of several premises within a company. The connection can be set up via leased lines, public lines, Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). Ask your system administrator about details regarding networking.

IP Calls

IP calls are internal calls sent via an internal data network (LAN or WAN) and the transfer of data and voice is made on the same line. If you are connected to an internal data network, the IP connection is made automatically. To minimize the traffic on the network, the speech quality is decreased.
If the speech quality is not acceptable, you can disconnect the IP call and switch to a non-IP call (alternative network). The switch from the IP net to the non-IP net is made during the call, so the call does not have to be disconnected.

If you want to switch to a non-IP net during the call:

¸ Press.
*61* Dial.
During the procedure the other party is put on hold. When the procedure is ready you will receive a special ringing tone and the call is resumed in the non-IP net.

Useful Hints

Useful Hints

Connections between External Lines

With your BusinessPhone, you can establish an external call diversion or a conference with more than one external party or transfer an external call to another external destination (e.g. a mobile phone). These features are very useful for everyday business life.
Note: When these features are used, your BusinessPhone will occupy at least two external lines.
However, there may be disadvantages in connecting to several external lines. We would therefore like to draw your attention to the following:
Please do not transfer external calls to an external mailbox, to information systems or to external parties before they have answered.
Try to avoid diverting calls to third parties before they have answered.
If you are connected to two external lines, cancel one call by pressing R and 1.
If the external parties are not persons (mailbox, automated information or attendant systems, etc.), connections on external lines can last a long time, which can be costly. Moreover, such calls may occupy two of your system’s external lines. You can restrict connections between the external lines by re-programming your system.
Please ask your system administrator or contact our service center for more information.

Placing the Telephone

Do not place your telephone on sensitive surfaces. Use a non-slippery pad to protect your furniture from possible damage.
Do not place your telephone near sources of extreme heat, e.g. near the radiator.
Make sure that the line cable isn’t creased.

Cleaning the Telephone

Use a slightly moistened (not wet) soft cloth or an anti-static cloth and wipe off the telephone carefully. Do not use rough cloth, solvents or aggressive cleaning fluids. Any damages of the telephone, that are caused by non-observance of these instructions, are not part of the liability given by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting
This section contains information on how to solve common operational problems. Go through the following steps if you encounter any problems. If this does not solve the problem, contact your system administrator. If others have similar problems, there may be a system error.

Fault Check List

1. Make sure your telephone is connected to an analog line.
2. Read the Installation chapter.
To make sure that you have done everything correctly and that everything is properly connected.
3. Disconnect all extra equipment.
If your telephone is working properly when done, the problem lies in the extra equipment.
4. Connect a functioning telephone instead of the faulty one.
If that telephone is working properly, the problem is probably in your telephone, contact your system administrator.
5. Check for operational problems.
If operational problems are found, the problem is in the telephone network, contact the local telephone service or the local telephone company.
