Handset does not dial out 1. Unplug all Audio Devices from the PC

2. Reconnect the P240-M

3. Choose Set Up Audio and Video from Tools in the Lync/Microsoft Office Communicator menu

4. Choose “default Calisto P240-M”

I always get Lync/Microsoft Office
Communicator dialtone when I
press the speakerphone button. I
cannot just stream audio through the
speakerphone.

The speakerphone is designed to take Lync/Microsoft Office Communicator off hook when no
call is present. We recommend using a Calisto P240 if streaming audio to a speakerphone is a
requirement.
