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.

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.

Forwarding Calls
You can forward calls manually or automatically. A manually forwarded call is a call that you send to
another number as it is ringing. You can automatically forward calls using the Settings menu to set up
your forwarding criteria. Both methods are shown next.
Automatic call forwarding works only as long as you turn on and register your handset. If
you turn off your handset or move out of range for an extended period of time,, calls to
your handset are neither received nor forwarded. Depending on the PBX at your site, the

additional subscribed channels, and the Priority Channel.
Press and hold the Talk button to open the default PTT channel for transmission. Release the Talk
button to end the transmission and await reply. The handset will wait for ten seconds before reverting
to standby mode. The wait period keeps the channel open and gives any handset receiving that channel
time to join the conversation. To open a different channel or to send a new broadcast within the wait
period, you must end the wait period on the current channel by pressing the End key.

48 April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB
Paging Groups
The following paging group types are available:
Emergency pages Every phone will receive this page and play it at the highest audio level. If a phone is
active on a call using the speakerphone, the Emergency page will be heard on the speaker. If Do Not
Disturb is enabled, the Emergency page will be heard on the speaker. The audio level will return to
normal for the subsequent non-Emergency pages.
Priority pages Pages from this group are received by all phones unless Do Not Disturb is enabled or an
Emergency page is already playing. Priority pages are played at the current audio level.
Normal pages For pages from these groups, the first page received is accepted; all others are ignored
(not played and not stored). The administrator can provide a label for groups 1 to 23. The label identifies
the type and can comprise up to 15 characters. The label for Group 1, ALL, is defined by default.
Note that groups 24 and 25 are reserved for Priority and Emergency pages respectively.
Sending and Receiving a Page
At the start of a page, a repetitive set of alert messages is sent to ensure that receiving phones are ready
to receive the page. When the page cell first displays, it will briefly show the word Preamble. The
transmission can start after the preamble period.
Sending a Page
You initiate pages by pressing the Features soft key and then selecting the Paging option, the paging
group, and then pressing the Page soft key. A page displays as a call appearance, indicating the page
sender and paging group. The audio signal continues until the sender or the user terminates the page.
The page terminates for everyone in the group when the sender presses the End key. An individual can
end the page on a single handset by pressing the End key.
To send a page:
1 To send a page, press the Features > Paging soft key.

active call, whether you have enabled your phone to receive pages during an active call.
You will receive pages on the paging groups you are subscribed to as well as group 24 (Priority pages)
and group 25 (Emergency pages). If you enable Do Not Disturb, you will receive only Emergency pages.

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.
Instant Messaging

indicate availability.

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.

Notes on Battery Packs
• Battery Pack life will vary depending on your handset’s model and its features and system
infrastructure.
• Ensure that you fully charge the Battery Pack the first few times, as the Battery Pack becomes
most efficient after the first few charge cycles.
• If multiple Battery Packs are supplied with your handset, Polycom recommends that each be fully
charged upon receipt to prolong battery life. Battery Packs will slowly lose charge if unused. To
maintain battery potential, charge unused Battery Packs occasionally or alternate Battery Pack
use.
• After a length of time, Battery Packs will lose the ability to maintain a charge and to perform at
maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries.
• If your Battery Pack requires replacement, contact your system administrator.
• Overnight charging is best done while the handset is turned off.
Charging Your Handset
April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 87
• If the handset does not charge, clean the Battery Pack, the charger, and the handset contacts with
an alcohol swab.
• When the handset is properly seated, the backlight comes on briefly and the handset beeps to
indicate that charging has begun.
• Any battery that exhibits swelling, cracking, or other abnormality should be disposed of promptly
and properly.
• Dispose of any used battery promptly. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not
dispose of in fire.
• The handset is not designed for and will not function properly with third party batteries.

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.
If the wireless telephone does not work after following the steps listed above, contact your dealer for
servicing information.
1 Quaternary ammonium compounds are also known as C12-18-alkyl [(ethylphenyl) methyl] dimethyl, chlorides and Benzyl-C12-
18-alkyldimethyl ammonium chlorides. Review the Materials Safety Data Sheet for your specific product to verify the chemical
composition.

Operational Warnings
Certain operational environments are potentially hazardous. Please read the following text carefully to
ensure that you understand the phone’s operating conditions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Do not take your handset into any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not remove, install,
or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
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.
