FINDING YOUR WAY
ENDPOINT BASICS
Before you begin using your endpoint, take a moment to learn how to complete basic
tasks such as adjusting the angle of the endpoint, using the speaker and the micro-
phone, and using a headset.
Adjusting Your Endpoint’s Viewing Angle
Your Model 8690 endpoint has an adjustable base that allows you to tilt it to enhance
the viewing angle.
To adjust the viewing angle of the endpoint:
1. Position the bottom of the endpoint’s base on a flat surface.
2. Tilt the endpoint to the desired angle.
3. Place the “feet” of the support mechanism in the holes on the base to secure the
position of the endpoint.
Using the Speaker and Microphone
If you are not using a headset, you can talk handsfree using your speaker and micro-
phone. The microphone has a mute feature, which, when enabled, allows you to hear
the other party but they cannot hear you. (This does not put the party on hold.) You
can also use the speakerphone for on-hook dialing, and the Group Listen feature.
Mute Button
To mute the microphone:
Press
Mute or the MUTE menu button.
To turn the mute feature off:
Press
Mute or the UNMUTE menu button.
Group Listen Using the Speaker
With the Group Listen feature, you can transmit a conversation over the speaker while
you use the handset to continue speaking. This allows other people to hear the caller
while the caller can only hear you.
NOTE: You cannot use this feature on a handsfree call. You must be on a call using
the handset before entering the feature code.
To turn the group listen feature on or off during a call:
Press and dial . You hear a confirmation tone and the display
shows GROUP LISTEN ON or GROUP LISTEN OFF. (The other party will not hear
the confirmation tone.)
