Accessibility Features on VVX Business Media Phones for Hearing-Impaired Users.
Visual Message Waiting Indicator (MWI)
An indicator light on the phone indicates that new messages
are waiting. Icons on the phone screen also indicate that the
phone has new messages.
Adjustable ring tone and volume
You can choose from a variety of ring tones for your phone.
You can also change the volume of the ringer to suit your
needs, and choose different ring tones for contacts (see
Change Audio Settings).
If you’re in a call, you can raise or lower the volume of the
voice on the far end and of other phone sounds you hear
(see Change the Volume).
Indicators on the phone screen (such as flashing bars or
icons) let you know when calls are incoming are outgoing, or
if a call is active or held. Indicators can also indicate phone
status and if certain features are activated (see Understand
Phone Icons and Status Indicators).
Certain VVX models have visual ringing that enables the
screen to flash bright orange for incoming calls (contact your
system administrator).
Electronic hookswitch support
If you use a headset that supports electronic hookswitch
(EHS), you can use the controls on your headset to answer
and end calls. In addition, you may be able to mute calls
and control volume from your headset (see Enable
Electronic Hookswitch).
