WHY IS MY DISPLAY BLANK?
Ensure that power is being provided to your phone. If your network does not provide inline
power over Ethernet, you can obtain an additional accessory, the Mitel PoE (Power over
Ethernet) inline power supply, to provide power over Ethernet locally to your phone. See the
Connecting to the Network and to Power
section
in the
Mitel 6869i Installation Guide
for
details.
WHY IS MY SPEAKERPHONE NOT WORKING?
If you press the
button and the speaker light flashes and you do not hear dial tone
through the speaker, the
Audio Mode

Press
