PennNet Phone: Polycom 650 Quick Guide

Restarting/Loss of Power

When electrical power is lost, the phone will automatically reboot itself to restore system settings. This takes several seconds; the display screen will go blank and then display with the message “Restarting Phone.”

While the phone is rebooting, you cannot receive any phone calls and callers will hear the message “We’re sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again.” Additionally, any information stored in the Phone other than the Contact Directory is lost.

Do not arbitrarily unplug or disconnect your phone from the data outlet or from the electrical outlet to cause it to power cycle needlessly.

To perform a soft restart

Rebooting without disconnecting the electrical cord via the Menu button on the handset:

1.Press Menu

2.Press Settings (or 3 on the dial pad)

3.Press Basic (or 1 on the dial pad)

4.Press Restart Phone (or 5 on the dial pad)

5.Press Yes softkey to confirm

Important: If your phone losses electrical power or is restarted, the information in the Call Lists is lost. It is not a good idea to depend on these for retrieving phone numbers. The numbers in your Contact Directory are not affected by the handset restarting.
