IP Phone Feature Descriptions
The following sections describe default configurations. Your IP phone may be programmed
differently. Contact your system administrator for more information. See “5304 Features” on
page 2 for IP phone feature locations.
Display
The display provides a two-line, 20-character viewing area for using features and identifying
callers. When idle, the display shows your user extension, name, and the time and date.
Ring/Message Indicator
The Ring/Message Indicator flashes or stays lit to indicate call, message, and feature activity.
For more information about messaging features, see “Messages” on page 39. Ring/Message
Indicator signals are described in the following table.
Indicator SignalsDescription

Speaker
The 5304 speaker provides incoming audio. You can use the speaker to listen to calls or
background music. See “Viewing Button Assignments” on page 13 for more information about
background music.
The 5304 does not have an external microphone. Therefore, if you want to respond to a caller,
you must use the handset.
Handset and Hookswitch
The handset provided with this equipment is hearing aid compatible (HAC). One end of the
handset cord plugs into the handset and the other end plugs into the handset jack on the
phone. The hookswitch is located under the handset. When the handset is in the cradle, the
hookswitch is engaged and the phone is “on hook.” When you lift the handset, the hookswitch is
disengaged and the phone is “off hook.”
Most of the feature codes work when your IP phone is idle or “on hook.” Because the dialpad
buttons are located under the handset, you may find it easier to lift the handset, press the
hookswitch down, and then dial the feature code.
If you are on an active call or if you are off hook, you may need to press the Special button
before you enter the feature code to activate the feature.

Answering and Placing Calls
NOTE
By default, internal (intercom) calls are assigned to the IC button, and external calls
are assigned to the Call button.
Answering Calls
Incoming calls are accompanied by a ring tone signal and a rapidly flashing ring indicator lamp.
When you receive an incoming call, how you answer it depends on how you configure the

Call Features
The following sections describe call-related features.
Using Ring Intercom Always
Handsfree Mode is a system feature that functions on phones with external microphones. When
Handsfree Mode is enabled, incoming calls are automatically answered and audio is routed
through the phone’s speaker. To respond to the caller, the user must have a phone that includes
an external microphone (speakerphone).
Because the 5304 does not have an external microphone, Handsfree Mode is not supported on
the phone. However, if another extension has Handsfree Mode enabled for incoming internal
calls you can use the Ring Intercom Always feature to override Handsfree Mode on the
extension. When you use the Ring Intercom Always feature, the called party is required to pick
up the handset to answer your call.
To use Ring In tercom Always to always send non-handsfree calls:
Lift the handset and dial 377. RING IC ALWAYS ON appears.

Call Features
Using Personal Call Routing
When you enable Personal Call Routing on your 5304 IP phone, your incoming calls are
automatically routed to one or more preprogrammed associated destinations according to the
routing steps programmed for you.
Typically, your desk phone (5304 IP phone) is configured to be your main extension. You may
be programmed for up to five associated destinations including:
• softphone
• home IP phone
• voice mail
• mobile phone
• home phone
Your desk phone, softphone, home IP phone and voice mail extensions are already
programmed in the system, so your system administrator can easily include them in your routing
steps. To include your mobile and home phone numbers in your routing steps, you will need to
provide these numbers to your system administrator.
Personal Call Routing also includes the Handoff feature, which includes the following functions:
• The Handoff “push” function allows you to move an active call from your 5304 IP phone to
all of your associated destinations (except voice mail). You can then determine which
device to use to answer the call. The push function is useful if you are leaving your work
area, but want to remain connected to a call. For example, you can push a call from your
desk phone to your mobile phone. While the push is in progress, you can still hear and talk
to the other party from your desk phone. When you answer the call at your mobile phone,
there may be a brief break in the audio, which may be noticeable to the other parties on
the call.
• The Handoff “pull” function allows you to move a call that was previously routed to your
mobile or home phone back to your main extension. The pull function is useful if you
answered a call on your mobile phone, but have since returned to your desk. After you pull
a call back to your desk phone it is connected immediately and you can access system
features such as conference, hold, and transfer.
The Handoff feature is only supported on your main extension, typically your

and the call returns to the originating extension. For example, a holding call
will recall the extension where it was placed on hold when the hold timer
expires.

Hunt Groups
Hunt groups are groups of internal parties (agents) who share a common (hunt group)
extension number. Calls can either be placed to the hunt group (using the hunt group extension
number) or to a specific agent (using the agent’s extension number). Hunt groups are

Group number (see page 10) before you can use the
star codes. For example, if your system is using the
default Select Line Group numbers, dial 92001 to
access that line. After you have dial tone, you can dial
the star code and the number.
If your system uses Peer-to-Peer (P2P) audio, you
cannot use these features when you are on a P2P call.
Contact your system administrator for more
information.
I cannot program a Station SpeedDial number to the button I want.
Before assigning the speed-dial number to a
programmable button, store the number with either a
Station or System Speed-Dial code (see page 19).

Troubleshooting
When I try to use the Personal Call
Routing – Handoff feature (388), the
display shows NO CALL TO
HANDOFF.
The NO CALL TO HANDOFF display indicates that the
call cannot be handed off because one of the following
may have occurred:
• You tried to use the Handoff feature on a call that
has not been routed by Personal Call Routing.
• You tried to use the Handoff feature on a call that
the system has not yet recognized as a valid call.
• You tried to use the Handoff feature on an
unsupported extension. The Handoff feature is
supported on your main extension only.
• You tried to use the Handoff feature on a
phantom extension. The Handoff feature is not
supported on phantom extensions.
• You entered the handoff feature code at the exact
time the other party on the call disconnected.
• The call was terminated for some reason.
