VIP list
(Aastra 610d, 612d)
The programmable keys of the Aastra 610d, 612d can also be assigned with a VIP phone book. To do
so, program one of these keys as described on page 73 and then save the name and phone number
as described in the previous paragraph (or in the

Profiles
Profiles consist of a group of handset settings each assigned to a particular situation or application.
For instance you can switch from “Normal” mode of operation (e.g. in the office) to “Loud” mode of
operation when you enter a different environment (e.g. a factory floor). As a result of the switch,
features such as ringer volume, vibra call, speech quality, LED signalling, etc., adapt to the new envi-
ronment. Your handset has five profiles.
While they are predefined, they can be changed at any time. If required, change the default settings
to suit your handset applications (see page 72).
Note
If when a profile is activated you change a number of features contained in the profile using the nor-
mal menu access (e.g. using

Volume settings
), the settings are adopted by the profile.
