Clear Procedure
Sometimes, you might want to remove all administered values, user-specified data, and option
settings. Essentially, you want to return a telephone to its initial “clean slate” condition.
This is usually done when passing a telephone to a new, dedicated user when the user’s
L O G O F F option is not sufficient. For example, a new user is assigned the same extension,
but requires different permissions than the previous user.
The C L E A R option erases all administered data—static programming, file server and call
server programming, and user settings including Speed Dial button labels and locally
programmed Feature button labels, and restores all such data to default values. The C L E A R
option does not affect the software load itself. If you have upgraded the telephone, the phone
retains the latest software. Once you have cleared a telephone, you can administer it normally.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: This procedure erases all administered data, without any possibility of recovering
the data.
Use the following procedure to clear the phone of its administrative, user-assigned and options
values.
1. While the phone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the faceplate
of the telephone:
Mute 2 5 3 2 7 # (Mute C L E A R #)
Note:
Note: Press the Mute button momentarily. Do not press this button while pressi ng other
keys/buttons. The 4630/4630SW IP Telephones and the 4690 IP Conference
Telephone do not have a dedicated Hold button. For all other 4600 Series IP
Telephones, pressing the Hold button instead of the Mute button also works.
The 4601 IP Telephone does not support the CLEAR procedure.
The following text displays left-justified at the top of the display:
2. If you do not want to clear all values, press * (no) to terminate the procedure and retain the
current values.
A screen displays the following prompt on the top line:
Clear all values?

Are you sure?
