Powering On the Phone

To turn the phone on, press and hold the key for two to three seconds. The phone authenticates, then associates with a wireless access point, and connects to the IP telephony network. In a Cisco Light Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) environment, you might have to set the LEAP password. See the “Setting the LEAP Username and Password” section on page 24 for more information.

After connecting to the network, the phone displays the main screen, as shown in Figure 2-2. The phone is in standby mode and is ready to place or receive calls. The signal icon in the upper right corner shows the strength of the signal between the access point and your phone. Your phone must have an adequate signal before you can place or receive calls. The icon displays six vertical bars for a strong signal. If the icon displays fewer than three bars, the signal is weak.

Tips

•When the phone receives a weak signal, the phone displays this warning message, “Weak signal detected” and sends a warning tone or vibration as specified in your active profile. See the “Configuring Profiles” section on page 55 for more information.

•To secure your phone, you can activate a phone lock password. See the “Changing Phone Access Settings” section on page 62 for more information.
