Periodically, the telephone may require a user
reboot. Reasons for this include accepting a
new conguration or new software.
To reboot the telephone, simultaneously
press and hold the Do Not Disturb, Hold, and
Volume keys (highlighted in the diagram) for
more than 3 seconds. The reboot process will
begin and is complete when the idle display is
shown.
In the case of problems, it may be possible to restore normal operation of your
telephone without rebooting. Contact your System Administrator before attempting
to reboot the telephone.
