Safety Precautions

For Your Safety

The optiPoint 150 S IP phone conforms to the European standard EN 60
950 which governs the safety of information technology equipment includ­ing electronic office equipment. This device has been designed with safe­ty in mind, thus protecting both individuals and objects.

There is always the danger of small objects being swallowed by young chil­dren. In the case of optiPoint 150 S, this applies in particular to the con­necting cord clip.
Please make sure that such items are not accessible to children.

• Use only the enclosed power supply together with the special LAN ca­ble.

• Never open the power supply enclosure.

Protecting Your Telephone

• The telephone must not be used in bathrooms, etc. as it is not splash­proof.

• Before connecting or disconnecting the LAN cable, disconnect the
power plug from the wall outlet first.

• Never allow the device to come into contact with staining or aggressive
liquids, such as, coffee, tea, juice, or soft drinks.

Choosing the Installation Location

• The telephone should be operated in a controlled environment with an
ambient temperature between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F).

• To ensure good handsfree talking quality, the area in front of the micro­phone (front right) should be kept clear. The optimum handsfree dis­tance is 20 inches (50 cm).

• Do not install the telephone in a room where large quantities of dust
accumulate; this can considerably reduce the service life of the tele­phone.

• Do not expose the telephone to direct sunlight or any other source of
heat, as this is liable to damage the electronic equipment and the plas­tic casing.

• Do not operate the telephone in damp environments such as bath­rooms.

Safety Precautions

Important Information

Do not operate the telephone in environments where there is a danger of
explosions.

Use only original Siemens accessories. The use of other accessories is dan­gerous and will invalidate the warranty and the CE mark.

Never open the telephone or a key module. In the event of problems, con­sult your service personnel.

The information provided in this document contains merely general descriptions or charac­teristics of performance which in case of actual use do not always apply as described or
which may change as a result of further development of the products. An obligation to pro­vide the respective characteristics shall only exist if expressly agreed in the terms of con­tract.
The trademarks used are owned by Siemens AG or their respective owners.

Marks

The device conforms to the EU directive 1999/5/EC, as attested by the CE
marking.

This device has been manufactured in accordance with a certified environ­mental management system (ISO 14001). This process ensures that energy
consumption and the use of primary raw materials are kept to a minimum,
thus reducing waste production.

General Information

About These Operating Instructions

These operating instructions will help you get to know the optiPoint 150 S
and use its functions. The instructions contain important information for
safe and proper operation of the optiPoint 150 S. Follow them carefully to
avoid improper operation and get the most out of your multi-function tele­phone in a network environment.

Everybody involved in installing, operating or programming the
optiPoint 150 S must read these operating instructions.

For your own protection, please carefully read the section on safety.
Follow the safety instructions carefully in order to avoid endangering
yourself or other persons and to prevent damage to the unit.

The layout of this operating manual is extremely user-friendly. You will be
guided through operation of the optiPoint 150 S step by step – starting
with a description of simple basic functions, through configuration of all
operating parameters to a description of the additional features.

You can configure the telephone in two ways:

• locally at the telephone, see Æ page 27

• via remote maintenance over LAN, see Æ page 34

Administrative tasks are described in a separate manual. The quick refer­ence guide is meant to give you quick and reliable explanations regarding
frequently used functions.

Intended Use

The optiPoint 150 S telephone is a desktop unit designed for voice trans­mission and for connection to a LAN. It can be operated also as a stand­alone unit. Any other use is regarded as not prescribed.

Product Identification

The properties of the telephone – exact product name and serial number
– are displayed on the nameplate on the underside of the telephone.
Please have these at hand when you contact our Service department re­garding problems or defects on the unit itself.

General Information

Echo Effect

In some cases, while using the telephone you may hear an echo, which
can be quite strong. This is not due to any design defect or other fault with
your IP telephone, but is caused by the other client. For example, if the
echo occurs during a teleconference, it may be that the speakers and mi­crophones need to be repositioned.

Service

In the event of any trouble or defects on the unit itself, please dial the ser­vice number for your country.

Information and Icons

Safety

The Siemens Service department can only help you with problems
or defects on the unit itself.
Should you have any questions regarding the operation, your spe­cialist retailer or network administrator will gladly help you.
For any questions regarding the telephone connection, please con­tact your network provider.

Information regarding the prevention of injury or damage is highlighted, as
it contains important instructions on how to use the unit correctly.

This symbol indicates a hazard. Failure to follow the instructions giv-

General Information

Availability of Features

Your optiPoint 150 S can be operated on the following communication plat­forms:

• HiPath 2000

• HiPath 3000

• HiPath 4000

• HiPath 5000

• HiPath 8000

telephone’s manufacturer. Even though optiPoint 150 S is fully compatible
with general SIP standards, some of the functions described here may not
be supported in view of the varying range of functions available from other
VoIP providers and the number different network configurations imple­mented. An overview of RFC standards that are compatible with
