Upon first power-up, the phone will initiate its boot sequence. The 2.4-inch color display will show the boot progress. Once fully booted, the phone will attempt to obtain network settings via DHCP. If your network requires static IP configuration or specific VoIP server settings, these can be configured via the phone's menu system or a web interface (refer to your network administrator for details).
