Other Functionality Not Supported on a Phone
In addition to voice commands that are not supported from a phone, there
are other limitations to Vocera functionality when you access the Genie from a
phone:
• To receive a call on your phone that would normally be received on your
badge, you must have forwarding enabled in your Vocera user profile.
• When you receive a call on your phone you cannot access the Genie to
perform Vocera commands, such as transferring the call to another user.
• You cannot receive calls made to a group you belong to even if forwarding is
enabled for the group.
• Although you can use a phone to access the Genie to initiate a broadcast,
you cannot receive a broadcast on a phone.
• You cannot participate in push-to-talk conference groups. However, you can
use voice commands to join or leave a conference, find out what conference
you are in, and find out who is in your conference or any conference.
• You cannot initiate an emergency broadcast by pressing the 1 key (the Call
button on a phone) twice.
• You cannot put your phone in Do Not Disturb mode.
• You can press keys on your phone to send DTMF tones to navigate IVR trees,
but the 1 and 2 keys cannot be used for touch tone responses because they
are used as the Call and Hold/DND buttons. You cannot put the phone in
touch tone mode to say touch tone responses.
