Welcome...
Welcome to the user guide for the desk phones Mitel 6970 SIP for MiVoice Office 400 communication
systems.
This user's guide will assist you with the use of your phone and introduce you step by step to the functions
and configuration. If you require further technical support or information on other products of Mitel, visit
our website www.mitel.com to search for documents, or visit Document-Center.
This user's guide is relevant only for Mitel SIP phones connected to a MiVoice Office 400 communication
system. Other user’s guides are available for operation on other communication systems or for direct
operation via a SIP provider. Consult your system administrator if you are unsure whether you have the
correct user’s guide for your requirements.
NOTE:
• Not all listed functions are available by default. Contact your system administrator to learn more
about the available features and services in the MiVoice Office 400 communication system.
• Your system administrator has the option to individually set some of the phone's features. In this
case your default values will differ from the default values described in this user's guide.
• Some functions are offered both from the MiVoice Office 400 communication system and locally
from your Mitel SIP phone. Because the MiVoice Office 400 communication system does not fully
support local functions, we recommend that you always have your system administrator do the
configuration work or use the Self Service Portal yourself (see the chapter "MiVoice Office 400 Self
Service Portal").
Safety information
Failure to observe the below guidelines can be hazardous and can infringe on existing laws.

Call waiting:
The person you want to talk to is busy. The phone
automatically executes the function call waiting.
NOTE: If the user declines the call request or if the
function call waiting cannot be executed, the
connection is terminated (busy tone) or the call is
redirected to a predefined phone, depending on
the system configuration.
Rejecting a call:
Press the Ignore or the End softkey.
→ You will still be connected to the original
partner. Depending on the system configuration,
the caller either hears the busy tone or is
forwarded to a preconfigured destination.
Request a callback
You want to talk to a certain person. The person is busy or does not answer. You can make callback
requests to both internal and external users. Not all providers support this function.
29
USING FUNCTIONS BEFORE/WHILE IN A CALL
CHAPTER 4 PHONING
If the called party is busy, you can activate an automatic callback. In this case, your phone will start ringing
as soon as the party you are trying to reach goes on-hook. When you click Answer softkey, the person
you want to call is dialed directly. If the called party does not answer, you can also request a callback. The
user then obtains a message indicating your call-back request on his display.
You must save this function to a configurable key using Self Service Portal (see chapter "Configuring or
deleting a key assignment").
NOTE:
• You can activate only one callback at a time.
• An unanswered callback will be automatically cancelled by the system after about 30 minutes.

immediately after dialing the call number.
34
USING FUNCTIONS BEFORE/WHILE IN A CALL
CHAPTER 4 PHONING
Starting announcement
You want to speak directly to an internal user or an announcement group via the loudspeaker - where
available - without expecting an answer (similar to an intercom). The recipient is alerted to the announce-
ment by two short signal tones. You are immediately unilaterally connected via the loudspeaker.
If the internal user has secured their phone against announcements (configuration see chapter "Activating
protection against call types"), you cannot contact them using an announcement. You will get the
engaged tone.
The announcement function must be saved to a configurable function key with Self Service Portal (see
"Configuring or deleting a key assignment"). You can either configure the function key directly with a
designated user or input the call number manually each time.
35
USING FUNCTIONS BEFORE/WHILE IN A CALL
CHAPTER 4 PHONING
Receiving an announcement
You will be alerted to the announcement with two short signal tones and spoken to directly via the loud-
speaker over a one-way connection. The display shows Announcement from.
In order to be able to receive an announcement, your phone must be neither in use nor block announce-
ments (configuration see chapter "Activating protection against call types").
Receiving the emergency announcement:
In addition to normal announcements, the MiVoice Office 400 communication system also allows for
emergency announcements. It differs from a normal announcement in the following aspects:
• You cannot reply to or stop an emergency announcement.
• You cannot block an emergency announcement.
Announcement to a group:
• The announcement will only be received by phones which both have authorisation to receive
announcements and are not in use.
• If receipt of announcements is not authorised on any of the phones in the announcement group or
all the phones are in use, you will hear the busy tone.
• Group announcements are always conducted with a one-sided connection.
36
USING FUNCTIONS BEFORE/WHILE IN A CALL
CHAPTER 4 PHONING
Recording a call
You want to record an active call with your call partner.
You may record an active call as soon as your system administrator has configured at least one of your
e-mail addresses in the MiVoice Office 400 communication system. Your call party can be an internal or
an external user. The recordings are made and backed up only as wave files in your individual e-mail
boxes. You can find a call recording overview in your e-mail box. Contact your system administrator for
more information.
You can start recording calls in the following situations:
• during an active call;
• During a conference call (with maximum two participants)
• During an incoming/outgoing call
• in call preparation;
• During dialing with a busy line.
Call recording only starts when the connection is set up. Therefore, no ring-back tones or wait tones are
recorded.
Call recording is temporarily interrupted during an enquiry and an e-mail is sent with the recording made
up till then. Recording restarts automatically once the call connection with the enquiry call party is set up
and/or once the call connection with the first correspondent is restored.
The maximum recording time for each .wave file depends on the system configuration. When the
predefined or maximum recording time is reached, the recording stops automatically, the file is sent to
your e-mail address and a new recording starts at the same time. Contact your system administrator for
more information.
You must save this function to a configurable key using Self Service Portal (see chapter "Configuring or
deleting a key assignment").
NOTES:
• Recording calls may infringe on your national data protection provisions or be permitted only under
certain circumstances. If you intend to use this function notify your call party in advance.
• You cannot record a conversation involving more than two call parties (enquiry call, conference). The
recording is automatically stopped if you park your call party or put him on hold.
37

reached (or the memory is full), the recording is
stopped and the function key turns off.
38
USING FUNCTIONS BEFORE/WHILE IN A CALL

Menu Description
Do not disturb (busy) on/off Your phone does not ring and is set to busy for
incoming calls.
Do not disturb (forwarding) on/off Your phone does not ring and is set to busy for
incoming calls. Incoming calls are automatically
forwarded to a destination that has been
configured by your system administrator.
Activate/reply to intrusion
You want to implement intrusion in a current call.
Intrusion allows you to access a current call between two call parties and listen to their conversation. The
call party to which you have initiated intrusion is notified (display and sound signals). Your call party can
then respond to intrusion or reject it.
You can block intrusion; see chapter "Protecting yourself against calls".
You must save this function to a configurable key using Self Service Portal (see chapter "Configuring or
deleting a key assignment").
NOTES:
• Your system administrator must grant you intrusion rights.
• Intrusion may infringe on your national data protection provisions or be permitted only under
certain circumstances. If you intend to use this function, you should therefore notify your call party
in advance.
