Your phone extension will be given to you at the beginning of the school year. We will have a brief initial training on using the phones. Please make sure your office communicator application is installed and running properly for the phones to work! []
 * 1) Once Communicator is installed and working, the Phone installation is very simple, plug the USB powered telephone directly into the computer. (Since it is USB powered, it may not work on some USB hubs.)
 * 2) **Make sure it works:** Because the phones are dependent on Communicator running, Once logged into communicator you should see this icon in the taskbar at the lower right corner of the screen:[[image:http://graniteblog.graniteschools.org/clayglad/files/2010/04/clip_image001_thumb.jpg width="37" height="42" link="http://graniteblog.graniteschools.org/clayglad/files/2010/04/clip_image001.jpg"]]
