electronic components and the plastic casing.
• Do not operate the telephone in damp environments, such as bathrooms.

Voice encryption
On Octopus F100/200/400/650/IP-Netpackage (R 4 and later) and Octopus F470 UC your
Octophon F615 supports voice encr yption from software release 2 (V1 R2.xxxx). This allows
you to use your Octophon F615 to per form tap-proof calls. Voice transmission is encrypted
and is decrypted at the other call party’s phone and vice versa.
If "Secure Mode" is enabled on your phone, and a connection is established to a phone that
does not support voice encryption, the call is not encrypted and thus unsecured.
Your service personnel can define at the communication system whether you are notified of
unencrypted calls and how Æ Page 70.
Your Octophon F615 is a "multi-line telephone". This means that your service personnel can
configure multiple lines on your phone, which is not the case with single-line phones. Each
line is assigned an individual phone number which you can use to make and receive calls.
The programmable sensor keys function as line keys on multi-line phones Æ Pa ge 9 1.
When using a multi-line phone to make and receive calls, certain particulars must be taken
into account Æ Page 93 f f.
The executive-secretary configuration is a special case. This is a multi-line telephone with
special features (e.g. "Ring Transfer" and "Accept call"), configured especially for executive/
secretary use Æ Page 91 f f.
Team functions
To increase the efficiency of telephony, your service personnel can configure various Team
functions such as pickup groups, hunt groups, and call distribution groups.
