8568 Telephone User Guide – Issue 1, November 2009
Getting Started
Welcome
The instructions in this guide are for using the Mitel 8568 Telephone on the Mitel 5000
Communications Platform (CP). The Quick Reference Guide located at the beginning of this
guide is an overview of frequently used features.
Your telephone 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 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 NuPoint Unified
Guide on the Mitel Web site (http://edocs.mitel.com). Contact your system administrator for
more information about your voice mail system.
Because many telephone features can be programmed to perform various tasks,
NOTE
some features may work differently than the descriptions in this guide. Contact
your system administrator for more information.

Telephone Signals
Your telephone has several audio and visual signals to indicate feature activity. The following
are a few helpful tips:
• Lit or blinking buttons indicate call or feature activity.
• All telephone button lamps illuminate at the same time for a few seconds when the
telephone 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 lifted. “On-hook” means the handset is in the cradle.
• If your telephone does not have a lamp under the speaker button, the large message
indicator lamp on the top right of the telephone indicates that the speakerphone is in use.
Comfort and Safety Tips
Observe the following comfort and safety tips when using the telephone:
• 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 telephone, you might find a headset more comfortable. See
“Headset Instructions” on page 7.
• 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 11.

Headset Instructions
Your telephone is designed to work with a headset that has a 4-pin, RJ-type connector. User
satisfaction for any particular headset can be quite subjective, so Mitel recommends that you try
before buying so you are more likely to be satisfied with the fit, quality, and cost of the solution.
This recommendation includes all wired and wireless headsets, including the integrated
Plantronics
microphone to avoid audio feedback (echo).
Wireless Considerations: To operate, the Plantronics CS50 Wireless Headset must remain
within the system’s range operating limit from the base. Refer to the Plantronics CS50 Wireless
Headset System User Guide for more details.
When using a headset, press (Speaker) to connect to or disconnect from calls. The
Headset icon appears when the headset is in us e. You cannot use the handset or
speakerphone when the telephone is in Headset Mode. Disconnecting the headset
automatically enables the handset.
NOTES
T o connect and activate the headset:
1. Insert the headset jack into the Headset port located on the back of the telephone.
2. Dial 317
