About This Guide

Overview

This guide covers how to use your new 4610SW IP Telephone. The 4610SW is simple to use
while offering the latest advances in telephony systems. IP (Internet Protocol) telephones obtain
their operational characteristics from your central telephone server rather than residing in the
phone unit itself. Updates and new features are downloaded to your phone without intervention
or the need for phone replacement.
This guide contains eight chapters, geared to how you actually use the phone, each of which is
described in the section titled Document Organization.
