Q: I use a Mac. If I have my Zulu running and my Mac falls to sleep, Zulu won’t reopen. What should I do?
Zulu is still available, but you need to open it from the status menu and not from the dock. Look for the “Z” in the upper right hand corner of the screen and click on it.
Q: Do I need to keep the softphone program (Zulu) open?
Yes, but you can close the window. It will continue to run in the background so you can receive calls.
Q: Can you have both a desktop phone and use the softphone (Zulu)?
Yes, both will ring when calls come in and you can answer calls on either one.
Q: What do the various lights mean on the phone?
Nothing at the moment. The manufacturer is working to fix the notification lights on the phones, but for the time being, they don’t mean anything and can be safely ignored.
