Power Requirements

CAUTION

Contact your system administrator for more information. During the download process several messages are shown on the display that indicate the status of the download. The final display message, FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD SUCCESS or BOOT DOWNLOAD SUCCESS, indicates that the software or firmware update was downloaded successfully.

Immediately following the download your phone will re-synchronize with the telephone system by performing a reset. When the display returns to your extension number, your user name, the time of day, and the date, the reset is complete and you can use your phone again. During a reset, your phone (and all connected devices) lose connectivity with the network for approximately 10 -20 seconds.

CAUTION

Phone Damage Hazard. Do not use your IP phone or disconnect it from the power supply while it is updating

Getting Started

Welcome

The instructions in this guide are for using your 8560 Telephone or 8660 IP Phone on the Mitel 5000 Communications Platform (CP). The Quick Reference Guide located at the beginning of this user guide is an overview of frequently used features.

Your phone should be powered on and ready to use. If the display is blank, or if the display name, extension number, or time or date are incorrect, contact your system administrator for assistance.

Because a variety of voice mail products work with the Mitel 5000 CP, this guide does not include voice mail instructions. For voice mail instructions, refer to the voice mail user guide for your system. For example, refer to the Enterprise Messaging, Basic Voice Mail, and Embedded

Voice Mail Card User Guide, part number 835.3205, or the Mitel NuPoint Unified Messaging User Guide (on the Mitel Web site

for more information about your voice mail system.

Because many phone features can be programmed to perform various tasks,

8660 IP Phone Exceptions

The 8660 IP phone looks and functions almost identically to the 8560 Telephone, with the following exceptions:

• The 8660 IP Phone has additional ports on the back that are used for Internet and power

connections (see page 6).

• The 8660 IP Phone does not support the DSS/BLF unit (see page 18).

• The 8660 IP Phone does not support the Off-Hook Voice Announce Feature (see

page 24).

WARNING

Contact your system administrator and your local Mitel provider for important information about dialing emergency services before using your 8660 IP phone.

Phone Signals

The phone has several audio and visual signals to indicate feature activity. The following are a few helpful tips:

• Any buttons that are lit or blinking indicate call or feature activity.

• All phone button lamps illuminate at the same time for a few seconds when the phone is

reset or powered on.

• The following actions may cause an error tone:

o Pressing an invalid button combination. o Selecting a restricted feature. o Dialing a restricted or invalid number. o Dialing too slowly between digits. o Waiting too long before performing the next step.

To correct an error tone, hang up and try again.

• Many features “time-out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If this

happens, you must start over.

• “Off-hook” means the handset is in use. “On-hook” means the handset is idle.

Comfort and Safety Tips

Observe the following comfort and safety tips when using the phone:

• Do not cradle the handset: Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder, or

back discomfort, especially if you cradle the handset between your neck and shoulder. If you frequently use the phone, you might find a headset more comfortable. See“Headset Instructions” on page 8.

• Adjust the viewing angle: The built-in stand tilts to give you a better view of the buttons.

See “Adjusting the Viewing Angle” on page 9.

• Protect your hearing: Because prolonged exposure to loud sounds can contribute to

hearing loss, keep the volume at a moderate level. You can adjust the volume levels of the handset receiver or headset. See “Changing Volume Levels” on page 9.
