4. 8. 3 Analogue phones Aastra 6710a, Aastra 6730a
The phones can be used as desktop or wall models.
Connecting the phone
1. Insert the connector on the longer, straight end of the handset cord into the 
socket with the handset symbol on the underside of the phone until it snaps 
into place. Feed the cable through the strain relief and connect the other end to 
the handset.
2. Insert the small connector of the phone cord into the socket on the rear of the 
phone until it snaps into place. Insert the other end of the connector into the 
phone socket.
Preparing the phone for message waiting indication (MWI)
The phone is able to detect various notification types (e.g. polarity reversal, high 
voltage and frequency-shift keying (FSK)). The notification type is set using the 
MWI switch on the underside of the phone:  "0" = Off, "HV" = High voltage, "−/+" = 
polarity reversal. The frequency-shift keying (FSK) notification type is always active, 
irrespective of the switch setting (Aastra 6730a only).
The Aastra 400 communication servers support the following notification types:
Tab. 81 Support of the notification types
The red MWI LED under the notification key can only be triggered with the Aastra 
470 communication server and polarity reversal notification type. Set the switch on 
the underside of the phone to the “−” symbol. This applies to a straight phone cord 
(as the one included with the phone). If the MWI LED lights up after connecting the 
phone even when there is no message for the phone, then the switch must be set 
to “+”.
Notes:
– When the FSK notification type is selected, a new message is indicated 
on the display of the Aastra 6730a phone with a small envelope sym-
bol. This variant is not recommended as the symbol can be easily 
missed.
