58CHAPTER 5: BASIC TELEPHONE OPERATION

It may take a few minutes for your headset to return from the power-saving mode to the active mode when calls first come in, so your telephone may not ring until the headset has returned to active mode, and you may miss a call.

If you plan to not use the headset for a long time, 3Com recommends that you set the mute and headset buttons on the amplifier to Off and hang up the handset on your telephone. When you are ready to receive calls again, set up the headset for receiving calls:

1Pick up the handset on your telephone and set it on your desk.

2Put on the headset.

3On the amplifier, set the headset button to On.
