How to Use the Handset,
Speakerphone, and Headset
There are three tools you can use to place and answer calls—the handset, the
speakerphone, and a headset. These sections describe their use and how to adjust
the volume for each:
• Using the Handset, page 2-1
• Using the Speakerphone, page 2-2
• Using the Headset, page 2-2
• Adjusting the Handset, Speakerphone, and Headset Volume, page 2-5
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.
Tip The light strip at the top of your handset blinks when your phone rings and can
be set to remain lit when you receive a new voice mail message. See the “How
to Adjust the Message Waiting Indicator Light” section on page 5-5.
