Comfort and Safety Tips
Observe the following comfort and safety tips when using your systemphone:
Do not cradle the handset. Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck,
shoulder, or back discomfort, especially if you cradle the handset between your
neck and shoulder. If you frequently use the telephone, you might find a headset
more comfortable.
Adjust the viewing angle: The built-in stand tilts to give you a better view of the
keys. See “Adjusting the Viewing Angle” on page 51.
Protect your hearing. Because prolonged exposure to loud sounds can contribute
to hearing loss, keep the volume at a moderate level. You can adjust the volume
levels of the handset receiver or headset. See “Changing Volume Levels” on
page 51.
Page 9
Your systemphone is designed to work with a headset that has a 4-pin, RJ-type connector.
Only specific headsets are hearing aid compatible (HAC).

and the 48-button PKM adds 48 additional keys. All keys are not programmed by default.
They can be programmed as features. See Using Programmable Keys on Page 53.
A PKM Interface Module added to the back of the phone provides connectivity between the
5330 IP systemphone or 8528/8568 Digital systemphones and the PKM 12 / PKM 48. The
PKM Interface Module supplies the power to the PKM 12 / PKM 48.

You can use the Bluetooth handset and Bluetooth headset to move around within your
office or adjacent offices. Both devices connect to the BT 5330/5360 systemphone through
the Bluetooth module, which attaches to the back of the IP phone. The Bluetooth Module
contains a light-emitting diode (LED) indicating that a cordless device is in use; also
indicates the pairing of module and a cordless device.
The Cordless Devices Application provides access to the configuration settings and
information screens that apply to the Bluetooth module and accessories.
