Powering On the Phone
To turn the phone on, press and hold the key for
two to three seconds. The phone authenticates, then
associates with a wireless access point, and connects
to the IP telephony network. In a Cisco Light
Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP)
environment, you might have to set the LEAP
password. See the “Setting the LEAP Username and
Password” section on page 24 for more information.
After connecting to the network, the phone displays
the main screen, as shown in Figure 2-2. The phone is
in standby mode and is ready to place or receive calls.
The signal icon in the upper right corner shows the
strength of the signal between the access point and
your phone. Your phone must have an adequate signal
before you can place or receive calls. The icon displays
six vertical bars for a strong signal. If the icon displays
fewer than three bars, the signal is weak.
Tips
• When the phone receives a weak signal, the
phone displays this warning message, “Weak
signal detected” and sends a warning tone or
vibration as specified in your active profile. See
the “Configuring Profiles” section on page 55 for
more information.
• To secure your phone, you can activate a phone
lock password. See the “Changing Phone Access
Settings” section on page 62 for more
information.
