78 CHAPTER 6: PERSONALIZING YOUR TELEPHONE
It may take a few minutes for your headset to return from the
power-saving mode to the active mode when calls first come in, so your
telephone may not ring until the headset has returned to active mode,
and you may miss a call.
If you plan to not use the headset for a long time (for instance,
overnight), 3Com recommends that you set the mute and headset
buttons on the amplifier to Off and hang up the handset on your
telephone. When you are ready to receive calls again, set up the headset
for receiving calls:
1 Pick up the handset on your telephone and set it on your desk.
2 Put on the headset. On the amplifier, set the headset button to On.
Using Hands Free
Active on Intercom
You can use your phone as an intercom. You can answer internal
(intercom) calls without picking up the handset. When you receive an
internal call, your telephone sounds a tone and activates the speaker
phone.
An external call (a call from outside your NBX system) rings to your
telephone as usual.
To enable Hands Free Active on Intercom, press the Hands Free or the
button before calls come in to your telephone. When the feature is
enabled, the indicator is lit. To disable Hands Free Active on Intercom,
press the Hands Free or the button again.
Palm Integration (3Com 2102-IR Business Telephone only) — The infrared port on the
front edge of the 3Com 2102-IR Business Telephone receives infrared
signals from a hand-held device that runs the Palm operating system. You
can use your hand-held device to call numbers in its directory and to
perform standard telephone operations, such as Forward, Redial, and
Transfer.
Install the Palm Dialer software (available on the NBX Resource Pack CD)
on your hand-held device. See your administrator for details.
