Elements of Your Phone
This section describes elements of your phone, and is organized in relation to the number
call-outs (e.g.
) in Figures 1 and 2 (on page 4).
Display Screen
Provides a high-resolution, back-lit viewing area for ease of use. When the phone is idle, the
time and date appear on the display screen. When using the Superkey Menu Interface,
prompts and feature information appear on the display screen.
Message Waiting/Ringing Indicator
Flashes orange when you have a new message in your voice mailbox or an incoming call.
The Message Waiting/Ringing Indicator is solid orange while the phone reboots.
Soft Keys (5220 IP Phone only)
Select associated commands listed on the bottom line of the display screen. These
commands change dynamically depending on the modes of the operation and the menu
currently displayed.
Fixed-function Keys
Give you access to the following phone functions:
• Superkey (blue): provides access to the phone's menus.
• Trans/Conf: initiates a call transfer or establishes a three-party conference call.
• Redial: calls the last number, name, SIP URL or IP address dialed.
• Message: provides access to your voice mailbox (optional).
• Hold (red): places the current call on hold.
• Cancel: ends a call when pressed during the call, and, when you are programming the
phone, eliminates any input and returns to the previous menu level.
• Speaker: initiates a handsfree call, switches between handset and handsfree mode or
disconnects a call while in handsfree mode.
• Microphone: toggles the microphone off and on. In handsfree mode, an orange light
indicates that the microphone is on; therefore, your party hears you. In handset and
headset mode, the microphone key acts like a Mute key, and an orange light indicates
that the microphone is off; therefore, your party cannot hear you.

keys change character input from upper or lower case and vice versa. These keys are also
used to change the display contrast, and to navigate through some menus when
