2. Click Admin Settings
3. Click Reset Settings
4. Click Service Mode
5. Click Reset and then the phone will reboot
After the phone reboots, you are now able to proceed with the login information

2. On the Sign In page, enter your PowerSchool credentials
The phone will take a short time to register.
Note: The phone will act like a regular desk phone when the setup is complete. If making an external phone call, you need to start with a “7” before entering the rest of the phone number
