It is hard to imagine a job that doesn’t need a phone. There are an endless amount of different and unique jobs our there, but I’m pretty sure every one of them, one way or another, needs a phone in some capacity of the business.
For this blog, I want to focus on the jobs that are not set in a cushy air conditioned office. Instead, I want to talk about the jobs that need wireless phones, or better yet, wireless VoIP phones.
What is the first job that comes to mind when you think of wireless phones? For me, I immediately thought of a construction job. Because construction can get messy, I would also have to assume that the wireless phones they are using are also ruggedized AND probably even DECT!
What kind of phone could cover all those bases? Well, I’m sure there are several. But for this blog, we are going to use the Snom M85 as an example. This is a wireless DECT phone that can take a beating and will last you a very long time.
Aside from this phone’s long range and nearly bulletproof casing, there is one weakness. This weakness is something that all phones have, their buttons. No matter how much of a beating this phone can take, if you press up against something or if you drop it down the stairs, you run the extreme risk of accidental use. Like….calling someone, paging someone, etc.
Luckily, the Snom M85 has you covered with its Automatic Keylock. This is a function that can take the frustration out of your day, and it is easy to manage.
If you would like to lock and unlock your phone manually every time, then all you have to do is:
See, that was easy! To unlock your M85 after it has been locked all you do is:
That might be the easiest set of directions I have ever seen! But one more cool feature this phone has is the Automatic Keylock feature.
This will allow the phone to lock itself if it has not been used in a selected period of time. How do you set this? Again, simple! Just follow these easy steps:
And that’s it! Depending on how long you selected, if your phone is not active, it will lock itself and prevent unwanted phone calls, leaving your phone off the hook, or draining the battery.
To unlock the phone after it has locked itself, just use the same manual steps and hold the star key until it unlocks.
Do you have a ruggedized wireless phone at work? Do you use the Snom M85? If not, what do you use? We want to know! Also, what How-To blogs would you like to see in the future? Let us know in the comments!
