Most office phones in Baker Lab and ST Olin are Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones. These use a special network and will not work over normal phone lines.

ChemIT's tips and tricks
Quickly get to the top-level screen
- Press the PHONE/EXIT soft-key.
Adjust the contrast in your screen's LCD display
- Press OPTIONS. Press the (large) right arrow key under the display. Press the soft-key by the words, "Contrast Control". Press the soft-keys left/right to heighten/lighten contrast.
- The ideal contrast depends on ambient lighting and your own preferences. Thus you will likely want to make this adjustment and not simply accept the factory defaults. :-)
Add Speed Dial numbers
- There are two SP (speed dial) directories:
- The top-level screen shows the "institutional" speed dial directory which everyone shares and which we have no direct control over. Working with CIT, we're trying to get an "Audix" speed dial on that screen to actually work.
- The second SP directory if your own directory.
- To get to your own SP directory, from that top-level screen, press the soft-key underneath the contraction, "SpDial".
- You will then see options to "Add", "Edit", and "Delete" SP's. To "Add", press the appropriate soft-key and follow the prompts.
