Using the Handset, Headset, and Speakerphone
Your Cisco IP Phone works with a handset, headset, or speakerphone.
For information on using each of these, refer to the following sections:
• Using the Handset, page 1-12
• Adjusting the Handset Rest, page 1-12
• Using the Speakerphone, page 1-14
• Using the Headset, page 1-14
Using the Handset
The handset on your Cisco IP Phone functions in the same way as a handset on a
traditional phone:
• To place and answer calls with the handset, simply lift the handset.
• To hang up, place the handset back in its cradle.
• To switch from the handset to the speakerphone, press the Speaker button on
the front of your phone during a call, then hang up the handset.

Adjusting the Handset Rest
If you mount your Cisco IP Phone on the wall or use the footstand on the phone,
you can adjust the handset rest to ensure the receiver will not slip out of the cradle.
To adjust the handset rest, follow the steps and refer to Figure 1-3.
