Headset After a

circumstances are true:
■
The headset amplifier buttons for
Mute
and

are both set to

■
The handset is off the phone for a long time (for instance, overnight).
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
