scratch the surface of the screen). You can use the cloth dry for dusting, polishing and light cleaning,
or dampen it (with water only) to deep clean the surface. If using a damp cloth, make sure to use
just a little water on the cloth. Too much moisture can cause damage to your phone that could be
permanent. If the cloth is dripping or the surface shows water spots after wiping, then you are using
too much water on the cloth.
Some rules to follow when cleaning your screen include:
• Do not use any sharp objects including your fingernail.
• Do not rub, touch or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ball-point
pen or a screw driver.
• Do not use any type of cleansers including abrasive cleansers.
• Do not use any type of glass cleaner or any cleaner that contains alcohol or ammonia.
• Do not spray any type of cleaner directly on the phone’s screen.

Welcome
• Do not allow any liquid to run down the surface of the touchscreen and under the bezel.
• If using a damp cloth, disconnect power to the phone before wiping the screen.
CAUTION: Use of any type of cleaners, alcohol, ammonia, and/or hard or sharp objects can harm
the touchscreen surface and potentially cause transparent conductive film cracks in the screen.
To clean your Mitel MiVoice 6940 IP phone’s touchscreen:
1. Disconnect power to your phone.
2. Retrieve a soft cloth, such as a microfiber cloth.
3. If necessary, dampen the cloth. For regular cleanings, a dry cloth is usually sufficient. For
stubborn build-up or for periodic deep cleanings, wet the cloth under a faucet and then wring
out until it is just damp.
4. Wipe the screen gently with the cloth making sure to not get any moisture in the sides of the
screen. You can also wipe down the entire phone to remove dirt and grime.
5. Allow your phone to completely dry after you are done cleaning. This should only take a few
minutes.
6. Reconnect power to your phone.
Note: Keeping your touchscreen clean and free of dirt and fingerprints on a regular basis extends
the life of your phone’s touchscreen.
Tips for your comfort and safety
Don’t cradle the handset
Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder, or back discomfort, especially if you cradle
the handset between your ear and shoulder. If you use your phone a lot, you may find it more
comfortable to use a headset. See “Accessory support” on page 92 for more information on headsets.
Protect your hearing
Your Mitel MiVoice 6940 IP phone has a control for adjusting the volume of the handset, headset,
and speakerphone. Because continuous exposure to loud sounds can contribute to hearing loss,
keep the volume at a moderate level.
Adjust the viewing angle
The stand for your Mitel MiVoice 6940 IP phone supports two viewing angles (30° and 60°). Adjust
the stand to suit your viewing preference. For instructions on how to adjust the stand, see the Mitel
MiVoice 6940 IP Phone Installation Guide.

Corporate and Mobile folder features
The Corporate folder contains the contacts that are available through your corporate LDAP directory.
The Mobile folder contains your mobile phone contacts (if synchronized).
Notes:
1. Access to corporate directories must be set up by your System Administrator.
2. Updates made to your corporate directory are reflected on your phone only at the
re-synchronization time configured on the MiVoice Business phone system.
3. For more information on syncing mobile contacts and MobileLink functionality, see “Syncing
mobile contacts” on page 83.
There are two types of corporate directories that can be configured:
1. Cached:
Contacts are cached on the phone and are viewable as a list in the Corporate contact folder
upon entering the Contacts application. You can scroll up and down to view your list of corporate
contacts. Performing a basic search applies to both the Personal and Corporate contacts
folders.
2. Non-cached:
Contacts are not cached on the phone and therefore contacts are not available until you perform
a lookup in the Corporate contact folder. Used for corporate directories with a large amount of
contacts as caching a large amount of contacts could, at times, overload the IP phone.
You can perform all the same functions as the Personal folder from the Corporate and Mobile
folders except for adding, deleting, and editing entries. In addition to being able to search for a
corporate or mobile contact, place a call to the selected corporate or mobile contact, and view
corporate or mobile contact’s contact card, you can copy the corporate or mobile contact to your
Personal folder.
Note: See “Performing a search” on page 62 for details on how to perform a search on your cached
Corporate contact folder as well as your Mobile contact folder.
