Dialing from phone

There are two ways that you can dial a number from your phone –

On-hook and Off-hook.

On-hook dialing

You are dialing on-hook when the phone handset is on the cradle

and the speaker is not turned ON. You will not hear audible

feedback for each button press.

• Forthedisplaytoshow“Enteranumbertodial,”pressanyof

thebuttons“0”through“9”,“*”,or“#.”

• Tostartdialing,enterthephonenumber,presstheSpeakeror

Headset button, or lift the handset off the cradle.

• Tocancelon-hookdialingbeforethedialingstarts,pressthe

Flash button.

Off-hook dialing

You are off-hook dialing when you do any of the following actions:

• Pickupthephonehandset.

• PresstheSpeakerbutton(thebuttonwasnotilluminated

before the press).

• PresstheHeadsetbutton(thebuttonwasnotilluminated

before the press).

You hear audible feedback for each button press.

The dial tone that is played when you are off-hook dialing is either

a long or a short tone. The dial tone is long when the speaker is

not streaming any sound. The dial tone is short when the speaker

is being used for another application or for audio streaming. The

dial tone is short to minimize disturbance of the current activity.

If your phone is off-hook and you don’t dial anything, after one

minute,youwillheara10-secondhowlertonealertingyouthat

Microsoft Ofﬁce Communicator will be putting the phone on-

hook.

Dialing rules

In many organizations, IT administrators set up dialing rules that

deﬁne shortcuts and preﬁxes, and more, to be used when calling.

If dialing rules are set up for Microsoft Ofﬁce Communicator, these

rules also apply to the phone.

For example, a dialing rule has been set up so that you call other

staff members in the same ofﬁce by dialing only the last four

digits of the contact’s phone number by using Microsoft Ofﬁce

Communicator. So, when you press the last four digits of a

contact’s phone number, and then don’t press any other number

for three seconds, Microsoft Ofﬁce Communicator calls the

number if there is a match. If there is no rule for a particular dialing

pattern,MicrosoftOfceCommunicatorwaits10secondsand

then dials the number. The phone follows the same rules.

Dialing rules also affect the behavior of the phone when the

computer it is connected to is locked. See “Using the phone

when the computer is locked,” in this document.

Switching between audio devices in your phone

The Plantronics P540-M selects the speakerphone as the default

audio device. However, if you manually selected another device—

for example, the headset—the phone remembers the choice.

Your next call is automatically streamed to the headset and you

do not have to press the Headset button to make a call or take an

incoming call through your headset.

Whenyoupickupthehandset(takeitoffthecradle),the

handset becomes the active audio device and the audio or call

isstreamedtoit.Whenyoureturnthehandsettothecradle,the

phone reverts to the audio device that you last selected.

Disconnecting and reconnecting the P540-M to the computer

erases the phone’s memory of the audio device that you selected.

Afterreconnectingtothecomputer,thephoneselectsthedefault,

speakerphone, as the audio device again.

Whileonacallusingyourphone,youcanswitchfromoneaudio

device to another.

• Ifyou’reusingthehandset,presstheSpeakerorHeadset

button to move the call to the other audio device. However,

your call will end if you’re using the handset and you go on-

hook with it before you select the Speaker or Headset.

• Ifyou’reusingthespeakerphoneorheadset,liftthehandset

off the cradle to switch the call to the handset.

Performing tasks on phone

WhenitisconnectedtoacomputerthatisrunningMicrosoft

Ofﬁce Communicator 2007 R2, the Plantronics P540-M can be

used as a calling device like any other. Lift the handset or press

the Speaker button and press the buttons on the keypad to make

a call. Return the handset to its cradle or press the Speaker

button again to end a call. For such basic information, see

Microsoft Ofﬁce Communicator Help.
