[. . . ] The Voice of Unified CommunicationsTM Plantronics P540-M USB Phone User Guide Welcome Congratulations on purchasing your new Plantronics P540-M. This guide contains instructions for setting up and using your Plantronics P540-M The Plantronics P540-M is a next-generation universal serial bus (USB) phone optimized for Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2. The plug-and-play phone has a simple set-up and does not require software to be installed in addition to Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2. The phone provides support for the 38 languages supported by Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2. [. . . ] If your phone is off-hook and you don't dial anything, after one minute, youwillheara10-secondhowlertonealertingyouthat Microsoft Office Communicator will be putting the phone onhook. 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 Plantronics P540-M User Guide number if there is a match. If there is no rule for a particular dialing pattern, MicrosoftOfficeCommunicatorwaits10secondsand then dials the number. 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.
