Before You Begin
This guide provides information you need to quickly use your new phone.
Firstly, verify with your system administrator that the IP network is ready for phone configuration. Also, be
sure to read the Quick Start Guide which can be found in your phone package before you set up and use
the phone. As you read this guide, keep in mind that some features are only configurable by your system
administrator or determined by your phone environment. As a result, some features may not be enabled or
may be operated differently on your phone. Additionally, the examples and graphics in this guide may not
directly reflect what is displayed or is available on your phone screen.
Note: This guide mainly takes W73H as an example. Due to different LCD specifications and
parameters, the graphics displayed on other handsets may be different.
