GETTING STARTED
INTRODUCTION
Now that you know what your Model 8500 endpoint can do, it’s time to start using it.
In this section, you’ll learn how to make and receive calls, transfer calls, retrieve
voice mail messages, and much more.
ADJUSTING YOUR ENDPOINT’S VIEWING ANGLE
Your Model 8500 endpoint has an adjustable base that allows you to tilt your endpoint
to enhance the viewing angle. There are two types of bases available on the endpoint,
each of which allow you to adjust the angle of the endpoint. Use the appropriate
instructions (listed below) to adjust the angle of your endpoint.
If your endpoint has a support mechanism that fits into holes on the base:
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.
If your endpoint has buttons located on the back to release the locking base:
1. Position the bottom of the endpoint’s base on a flat surface.
2. Press both buttons on the back of the endpoint to disengage the base’s locking
mechanism.
3. Tilt the endpoint to the desired angle.
4. Release both buttons to lock the base in place.
NOTE: If you position your endpoint’s viewing angle to 60 degrees or greater, it is rec-
ommended that you flip the handset hanger down to the horizontal position.
