Clear Procedure

Sometimes, you might want to remove all administered values, user-specified data, and option settings. Essentially, you want to return a telephone to its initial “clean slate” or out of the box condition. This is usually done when passing a telephone to a new, dedicated user when the user’s L O G O F F option is not sufficient. For example, a new user is assigned the same extension, but requires different permissions than the previous user.

The C L E A R option erases all administered data--static programming, file server and call server programming, and user settings including Contact button labels and locally programmed Feature button labels, and restores all such data to default values. The C L E A R option does not affect the software load itself. If you have upgraded the telephone, the telephone retains the latest software. Once you have cleared a telephone, you can administer it normally.

CAUTION: This procedure erases all administered data, without any possibility of recovering the data.

Use the following procedure to clear the telephone of its administrative, user-assigned and options values.

1. While the telephone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the faceplate of the telephone:

Mute 2 5 3 2 7 # (Mute C L E A R #)

NOTE: Press the Mute button momentarily. Do not press this button while pressing other keys/buttons.
