April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 1 Chapter 1: Understanding Your Handset This user guide to the Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset includes overview information for beginners and for experienced users wanting to use their phones more proficiently. In this chapter, you will learn about the four types of communication sessions your handset supports and how their alerting methods differ. To maximize the capabilities of this device, you will also learn about the Session Manager, and how you can organize the several types of concurrent sessions. Additionally, this chapter orients you to the physical features of the handset. Your handset will work within your facility only when it is in contact with the LAN. It will not work beyond the coverage area of the wireless LAN. Contact your system administrator if you have questions about your facility’s coverage area. Communication Type Your handset enables you to place and receive four call types—voice telephone calls including pages, Push-to-Talk calls, custom application notifications, and instant messaging chats. Your system administrator will customize these options for your facility. Telephone Calls Voice calls are the familiar calls that ring and which you answer in the time-honored way. You can identify voice telephone calls in the Session Manager by the handset call icons. Paging and Push-to-Talk (PTT) Broadcasts A paging call is a special type of call sent to a specified group of recipients. You can send and receive pages on your handset if your system administrator has programmed this feature. Pages use the PTT icon. When configured in your facility, PTT broadcasts deliver a voice message on a channel that is available to recipients by subscription. You can identify PTT broadcasts in the Session Manager by the PTT icon. Instant Messaging Chats When configured for use in your facility, instant messaging (IM) enables you to chat with IM contacts you have entered in your directory or with contacts who start a chat with you. Presence icons in the Session Manager indicate availability and identify IM contacts.
Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset User Guide 2 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB Application Alerts Some facilities may use custom application alerts, such as a nurse call system in a hospital, while other facilities might use a Web browser application, such as a Webcam. To see which custom applications are available, view the Application icons in the Home Screen of the Session Manager. Your system administrator will give you information about the custom applications available on your handset. The Session Manager Use your handset to manage up to eight communication sessions - calls, broadcasts, chats, and alerts - at any one time and in any combination. Each communication session displays as a color-coded cell on the Session Manager screen. Cells display with a call icon indicating call status, line number, the name and extension/channel of the party, and the call duration, as shown next: Cell color indicates cell status. • Dark blue Indicates a session is on hold • Green Indicates a session is active while another cell is highlighted • Light blue Indicates a session is highlighted When a cell is highlighted, soft keys display that you can press to affect that call while other cells remain unaffected. Use the ▲ and ▼ navigation keys to scroll to and highlight a cell. In the example shown next, the Screen Manager on the left shows a blue call cell showing that the call is active. Note the active call icon and the soft keys – you can put this call on hold, mute the audio, change your speaker options, or access other features. The Screen Manager on the right shows a green call cell that is active - note the active call icon - but the other call on hold is highlighted. Since the blue call is on hold, the Resume soft key option displays. As the Mute and Speaker options do not pertain to a call on hold, these soft keys do not display. The Features soft key remains pertinent and therefore visible for both active and held calls.
April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 3 In another example, suppose you have a conference call with two other people, an incoming PTT broadcast, an application on hold, and an instant messaging chat. You can display up to eight session cells with four visible at once. Scroll with the navigation keys to view and highlight the other cells. Whenever you are at the Home screen and there are active sessions, a banner displays to indicate that the Back key will return the display to the Session Manager.
Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset User Guide 4 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB Features of Your Handset The front, back, and side views of your handset will orient you to the location of the keys, buttons, and other physical features documented in this guide. Front View

Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset User Guide 6 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB Right Side View LED Indicator The LED indicator, located at the top right of the handset, indicates the following conditions: • Steady even blink Indicates incoming telephony call to your handset • Slow uneven blink Indicates voicemail/IM message • Quick uneven blink Indicates inadequate Wi-Fi signal strength
April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 7 Chapter 2: Before Using Your Handset When you first receive your handset, you need to fully charge the Battery Pack. You may also need to familiarize yourself with turning the handset on and off, and learn about the various audio options available to you. Additionally, your facility may have security standards that require you to enter your unique credentials, such as a domain name, user name, and password, so that the handset will correctly register with your system. This chapter covers all of these subjects. Charging the Battery Pack for the First Use Take a moment to learn how to charge your phone properly. It is critical to fully charge the Battery Pack before the first use of the handset in order to maximize the Battery Pack's storage capacity and lifespan. The Battery Pack is fully charged when the Battery Pack icon becomes solid green. See Chapter 12: Charging Your Handset. Powering Up and Powering Down Your Phone Once the Battery Pack is fully charged, you use the red End key to power up and power down the phone. Press and hold the End key for about two seconds to turn on and turn off the handset. Do not remove the Battery Pack to power off the handset, as you will lose personal data. If you need to replace the Battery Pack, log off or power off the handset and then remove the Battery Pack. Using the Headsets and Speakerphone Whenever the Speaker soft key displays, you have access to different audio options. When you press the Speaker soft key, the following list of options displays: • Speaker The handset features a speaker in the back of the handset that turns the handset into a speakerphone. You can direct audio through this speaker by pressing the Speaker option. Use the volume keys on the left side of the handset to adjust the volume. • Receiver The receiver speaker is the default speaker you hear when you hold the handset to your ear. It is located at the top of the handset above the display. If another option is in use, return to the receiver by selecting the Receiver option from the Speaker soft key menu.
Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset User Guide 8 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB • Headset When you plug a headset into the headset jack on the right side of the handset, audio is automatically routed through it. The headset jack is unavailable when the handset is docked in the Dual Charger (DCA39). The headset jack accepts a four-conductor 2.5mm TRS plug. • Bluetooth If the system administrator enables Bluetooth capability, the Bluetooth option will display on the Settings menu. You must pair and then connect Bluetooth devices before you can hear audio through the headset. Pairing and Using a Bluetooth Headset Bluetooth devices vary. The following instructions are intended as a guide, and may not apply to your Bluetooth device. To pair your Bluetooth headset with your handset: 1 Turn on the handset. Navigate to Settings > Basic Settings > Bluetooth. You must first turn Bluetooth on, and then pair and connect the headset. 2 Select the Bluetooth On Off option and turn Bluetooth on. When Bluetooth is turned on, the Bluetooth icon displays in the status bar. 3 Place the Bluetooth headset in discovery mode. To put the Bluetooth in discovery mode, remove the headset and hold down the answer/end button. The indicator light will flash blue for several seconds before glowing a solid blue color. See the manufacturer’s instructions for pairing if you have any difficulty with this step. You can usually find instructions on the Web.
Before Using Your Handset April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 9 4 Select Manage BT Headsets. A combined list of up to five connected, paired, and detected headsets displays. Your list might already be populated or it might be empty. Icon color indicates status: • Red icon Indicates the listed headset is not paired • White icon Indicates that the headset is paired • White icon with a headset Indicates that the headset is paired and connected 5 Press the Add Device soft key to begin the acquire procedure. Give this list at least ten seconds to populate to allow the handset enough time to detect new devices. All nearby devices in discovery mode will be added. Once the device is paired, it will display on the list. 6 Now you are ready to connect the device. Press the Connect Device soft key. The Bluetooth headset model will display on the list with the headset icon. The headset icon will also display in the status bar.
Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset User Guide 10 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 7 Use the Disconnect Device to turn off the headset. Use the Remove Device soft key to remove the headset from the list. Changing the audio option while using a Bluetooth headset • If you press the Speaker soft key while using a Bluetooth headset, you get a shortcut menu enabling you to redirect audio through another audio path instead of the Bluetooth headset. • If you turn off the Bluetooth headset without ending the call, the audio will be routed to the next active audio option. Setting Bluetooth volume: Use the volume adjustment buttons on the headset to increase or decrease call volume. Hearing Aid Compatibility Radio frequency can interfere with some hearing aids. Your handset has a hearing aid compatibility mode that adjusts the frequency response for users who have hearing aids equipped with telecoil inductive pickups. Acoustic pickup hearing aids will not respond to this adjustment. To view the current status of the Hearing Aid Compatibility feature and to enable or disable this feature, navigate to Settings > Basic Settings > Hearing Aid Compat…. Enable or disable as needed. Handset Registration Generally, your handset will be deployed with multiple other handsets. In this case, your system administrator will configure the handset parameters beforehand so that when you turn your handset on, the handset will register with the system and be ready to use.
Before Using Your Handset April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 11 If your handset is not part of a large handset deployment, your handset might not be registered, in which case it will not work. Contact your system administrator if your handset does not function normally when you turn it on. Normal Initialization Process The handset cycles through several steps when you first power it up. Allow it to continue until you see the Home screen and the registration icon in the status bar. You will see this sequence: 1 A facility logo displays for about 15 seconds. 2 The screen message displays: Starting application, press Cancel to interrupt. If you press the Cancel soft key, the startup cycle is interrupted for administrative tasks. Do not press the Cancel soft key unless directed by your system administrator. 3 The Home screen displays with the registration successful icon in the status bar ( ). If registration fails, you will see an icon showing registration failed ( ). See Table 1: Status Bar Icons for a summary of these icons. Power cycle the handset (turn the handset of and then back on) if registration fails. Contact your system administrator if registration continues to fail after several attempts. Login Requirements Two types of system environments are possible - assigned and shared - and which one your facility uses determines how you log into the wireless telephone system. Contact your system administrator if you are not sure which system environment is deployed. • Assigned handsets If you have an assigned headset, your system administrator will give you login credentials - the domain, a user name, and a password - that you will need to enter when prompted to log in. With these login credentials, you can program your contacts and preferences on your assigned handset. • Once you have entered your credentials, turning the phone off and on again will not delete them, and all calls made to/from the handset will be identified with your extension. • Shared handsets With shared handsets, any handset can be used by anyone to perform basic call functions. However, if you have login credentials you can program a handset with your own preferences and contacts. This information is then associated with your login credentials and stored as yours on the system server. You can log in with any handset and access all the settings that you have previously programmed. When you log out or power down, the handset returns to its generic state. Users not having login credentials can use a generic handset for basic call functions, but most of the features will not be available.

April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 60 Chapter 7: Instant Messaging Your system administrator sets up Instant Messaging (IM) using Microsoft Office Communications. If available, the IM status option will display on the Profiles soft key menu and you will be able to set up your own IM status, and enter an IM name for each of your contacts. See Understanding IM Contact Names for detailed information about setting this up. You can initiate IM chats from the Dialer, from the Contact Directory, or from the IM history list. Only one IM session can be active at a time. An incoming IM chat opens a pop-up window. Active chats display in the Session Manager. You may hold or resume an IM session for five minutes after which the session is closed. IM history is stored under Messages > Instant Messages by contact. Any received or sent chats are stored under that contact’s name in the history list where you can view, delete, or initiate a new chat. Understanding IM Contact Names The IM contact name is actually a shortened form of the IM address that the server recognizes in the form of sip:ImUserName@CompanyServerDomain. When an ImUserName is, for instance, Joe54, and Joe is also in your company, you can enter Joe54 in the IM name field and the rest of the information is appended to the IM name when the chat is initiated. When a contact is added from the Corporate Directory or from the IM history list, you will see the full IM address saved in the IM Name field. You do not have to enter the domain name when you and your IM contact have the same domain name. Otherwise, if your IM contact doesn’t share your domain name, include his or her domain name in the user name in the form of sip:ImUserName@OtherDomain. The sip: prefix is not required, as it will be added by the handset if it is missing. In the Contact Directory, the fields for Last Name, Contact, and IM Name are required for IM communication. The easiest way to get IM names is by adding contacts from the Corporate Directory or from the IM history list. Contacts that are added from the Corporate Directory may also have an IM name as part of their information. The required fields are automatically populated when a contact is saved from the IM history list, which presumes that the contact placed an IM chat with you first and therefore already has an IM name. See Chapter 6: How to Use the Contact Directory for more information about entering and editing data in the contact fields. The easiest way to get IM names is from the Corporate Directory. See Searching and Saving with the Corporate Directory for more information.

April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 70 Chapter 9: Using the Barcode Reader (8450 only) At the time of this writing, this feature remains under development. Some of the information presented here may not be accurate in the current beta release. Refer to the updated online documentation following the initial beta release date. The SpectraLink 8450 Wireless Telephone is equipped with a barcode scanner located at the top rear of the handset. This feature reads GS1-standard, UPC barcodes printed on the covers of most products worldwide to associate a product with its detailed description, including price. You activate the barcode scanner by pressing the scanner button on the right side of the handset. The phone supports two types of applications—one-to-one and many-to-many. General Operating Instructions The barcode scanner, shown next, is at the top rear of the handset. Scanning range is 4-12 inches. Scanning with the barcode reader: 1 Hold the handset so that the rear of the handset is facing the item you want to scan. 2 Press the scan button. The red light comes on. Orient the red light so that it shines across the barcode. The red light stays on for as long as you press the button and accomplish a complete scan. A beep sounds to indicate a successful scan and the red light turns off. See the Appendix C: User Settings Menu for help in navigating to sound settings for this option. 3 Release the scan button.
Using the Barcode Reader April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 71 Using the One-to-one Application You can use the one-to-one application when one handset is programmed to enter information into fields in an application on a single computer or on a Web-based application. When you are connected to a PC via a Wi-Fi network connection, the one-to-one application emulates keyboard input by using the handset as a barcode reader. When using a computer, you must use the barcode reader in close enough proximity to the computer so you can see that the cursor is in the field you want to enter information to. The system administrator programs this application and can provide you with additional information about how the application works. To associate the handset with the computer: This step does not apply to applications that reside on the handset. If you are using an application that resides on the handset, proceed directly to opening the application. 1 Point to the hot spot corner of the monitor (as configured locally) to display the barcode association window. 2 Scan the barcode. This associates the handset with this computer. A warble sounds, a connected balloon pops up, and the association status is displayed in the computer’s system tray. The green arrow signifies a current connection between the handset and the computer. A corresponding status icon will display on the handset. The barcode association status will disconnect if you do not scan a barcode within a time period defined locally by the system administrator. Open the application immediately after associating the handset to avoid disconnection.
Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset 72 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB To open the application: • The application may reside on the handset or on a PC. 1 If the application resides on the handset, navigate to Applications > [application name]. If the application resides on a PC, open the application as directed by your system administrator. Ensure that the cursor is in the correct entry field. Use the computer keyboard to move it as needed. 2 Point to the barcode you want to scan and press the scan button as described above. View the data entered to verify it is correct. The cursor may automatically tab to the next field if the system administrator has configured this option. In some cases, you may have to manually tab to the next field or move the cursor to the desired field. Consult with your system administrator for information about how to move the cursor to the next field if this is not immediately obvious. Using the Many-to-Many Application The many-to-many application enables you to use any handset in a group to enter information into many computers. The system administrator programs this application and can provide you with additional information about how it works in your facility. As with any barcode reader, the handset provides keyboard entry function; the barcode scan button scans into fields on your computer that are controlled by the application. Follow the steps outlined in the previous section to associate the handset with the computer and open the application. You can connect only one computer at a time. If you try to connect to another computer while connected to the first one, you will disconnect the first computer. If a new handset tries to connect to a computer while you are still connected, it will disconnect you and connect the new handset. Open the application on the computer and follow the procedure as directed by the system administrator.

April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 89 Appendix B: Cleaning and Drying the Handset The SpectraLink 8000 Series Wireless Telephones have been tested for resistance to cleaning chemicals per IEC 60068-2-74 (1999). Exposure of the 8440/8450 handsets to Lysol® or diluted bleach poses little risk of functional or cosmetic damage. • Avoid dropping the handset or knocking it against hard surfaces. Carry the handset in a holster or carrying case to protect it. • There are no serviceable parts in the handset or chargers. You should not open the handset case nor disassemble the chargers. Doing so will void your warranty. • Turn off the handset and unplug the chargers before you clean them. Never immerse the handset or charger in liquid. Clean the exterior surfaces, including the charging contacts, with a cloth that has been slightly moistened with water. Take care not to exert undue pressure on charger electrical contacts while wiping. • Polycom recommends the use of a silicone cover to prolong the life of your handset, especially when it is dropped regularly or cleaned frequently with the disinfectants prescribed below. • Wiping the handset surface with a water-dampened cloth or paper towel will remove most films or residues. If the soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a mild detergent solution, Lysol, isopropyl alcohol, or diluted bleach may be used. • Pre-treated cloths and toilettes, like those used for eyeglasses or cameras, may be used to clean the handset; however, avoid using those containing lanolin or aloe as these will leave a slippery residue. • When cleaning with disinfectants, do not rub the keypad characters vigorously. Doing so will degrade the handset’s keys and make them illegible. • Do not directly spray or immerse the phone in a disinfectant or cleaning agent. Spray the disinfectant on a soft cloth or paper towel, then wipe the phone's surface to dry it. • The following products should NOT be used on the SpectraLink wireless telephones:
Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset 90 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB o Do not use cleaning products containing quaternary ammonium compounds,1 such as CaviWipes™, CaviWipes™ XL, Cavicide® or Sani-Wipes®, Sani-Cloth, Super Sani-Cloth® and Sani-Cloth® Plus. Quaternary ammonium compounds have been laboratory tested and proven to damage the handset plastics. o Do not use furniture polishes, waxes, or plasticizer-based cleaners (ArmorAll®, etc.) o Do not use lanolin, aloe, glycerin, or other skin care products o Do not apply any solvent such as acetone, mineral spirits, etc. • Should the headset connector become dirty, you may experience a scratchy or intermittent signal. To clean the connector, dip the non-padded end of either a wooden or paper handled cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol. Gently insert in the connector and twist, repeating several times. If available, blow compressed air into the connector to clear debris. • Keep the headset jack covered when not in use. • Using a carrying case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids (rain, etc.) from entering into the interior of the handset. This product is not waterproof, and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit. • If your wireless telephone interior gets wet, do not try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the wireless telephone and void the warranty. Instead, do the following: 1 Immediately power off the wireless telephone. 2 Remove Battery Pack from wireless telephone. 3 Shake excess liquid from the wireless telephone. 4 Place the wireless telephone and Battery Pack in an area that is at room temperature and has good airflow. 5 Let the wireless telephone and Battery Pack dry for 72 hours before reconnecting the Battery Pack and/or powering on the wireless telephone.

Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset 100 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB Avoid areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas such as lower decks on boats, fuel, or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often marked with signs, but not always. Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. Facilities To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your handset in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external radio frequency (RF) energy. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that you maintain a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) between a handheld, wireless-radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should: • ALWAYS keep the handset more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the handset is turned on • Not carry the handset in a breast pocket • Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference • Turn the handset off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Use While Driving Campus installations and warehouse facilities that use vehicles such as forklifts or golf carts should abide by these guidelines when using wireless telephones:
Safety Information April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 101 • Give full attention to driving and to the road, aisle, or path • Use hands-free operation, if available • Pull off the road, aisle, or path and park before making or answering a call For Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag Do not place a portable device in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. An airbag inflates with great force. If you place the handset in the airbag deployment area, and the airbag inflates, the airbag may propel the handset at high speed and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle. FCC Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information for SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Telephones Your wireless telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless handsets. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: • ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute • NCRP - Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements • ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection • DHWC - Safety Code 6 Department of Health and Welfare Canada These standards were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Polycom SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Handset 102 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handsets used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The FCC conducts tests for SAR using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the handset transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the handset while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple power levels so that it uses only the power required to reach the network. Before a handset model is available for sale to the public, the FCC must test and certify it to ensure that phones do not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various handsets and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with the FCC. You can find it under the Display Grant section at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on the FCC ID number found on the handset label inside the battery compartment. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) Website at http://www.ctia.org. CE: 0.060 W/kg Body Tissue 0.066 W/kg Head Tissue FCC: 0.161 W/kg Body Tissue 0.203 W/kg Head Tissue Handset operation normal position To position the antenna properly, hold the handset as you would any other telephone, with the earpiece to your ear and speak into the microphone.
