Problem/Symptom Suggested Resolution
Phone does not activate after
connecting it the first time
Unless your System Administrator has
already initialized your telephone, you
may experience a delay of several
minutes before it becomes operational.
Upon plug-in, your telephone
immediately begins downloading its
operational software, its IP address,
and any special features programmed
by your System Administrator from the
server to which it is connected. Report
any delay of more than five minutes to
your System Administrator.
Phone does not activate after a
power interruption
Allow a few minutes for re-initialization
after unplugging, powering down the
phone, server problems, or other power
interruption causes.

Display screen
See Phone does not activate after
connecting it the first time above.
Check all lines into the phone to be
sure it is properly connected.
Check the power source to be sure
your telephone is receiving power.
Perform the following Test procedure:
with the telephone idle (on-hook), press
the Mute button while dialing this

report if the test was successful or
failed. If nothing appears on the display,
and the phone is receiving power, your
phone may need to be replaced.

resolve the problem, reset or power
cycle the phone.
