About the Snom D713
The Snom D713 is a VoIP desk phone certified under the ENERGY STAR program for telephony. The certification also covers related models such as D140 and D150.
It connects to your network as a Voice over IP (VoIP) endpoint rather than to an analog phone line. It is powered by an external AC adapter.
Measured standby power is 2.64 W — about 23.1 kWh or $3.93 a year if it stays plugged in around the clock, as phones normally do.

Safety information
- Use only the power adapter supplied with the phone or exact replacements from the manufacturer.
- Do not use the phone near water — for example near a bathtub, sink or swimming pool — and never handle it with wet hands.
- Avoid using any phone connected to outdoor wiring during a thunderstorm.
- Do not use the phone to report a gas leak while you are near the leak. Leave the area first.
- A VoIP phone works only when its network, power source (PoE switch or adapter) and phone service are up. Keep an alternative way to call 911 during outages.
Setup
- Connect to the network
Connect the phone's LAN port to a network switch port with an Ethernet cable. Plug in the AC adapter.
- Provision the phone
Most business VoIP phones are configured automatically from the phone system or by your administrator. For manual setup, enter the SIP account, server and credentials from your service provider in the phone's web interface.
Using your phone
Calls and audio
- Adjust the earpiece or speaker volume during a call with the volume keys; the setting is usually remembered for the next call.
- Call quality on VoIP depends on the network. If voices break up, ask your administrator to prioritize voice traffic (QoS) or use a wired connection.
Power use
Phones stay powered all the time, so standby power is what matters. This model draws 2.64 W when idle. It supports network proxy capability (base capability), allowing lower-power states while remaining reachable.
Care and maintenance
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| Weekly | Wipe the handset, keypad and display with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild disinfectant wipe; do not spray liquids directly on the phone or use solvents. |
| Every 6 months | Check cords and plugs for damage, and confirm the phone is running the firmware version your administrator or provider recommends. |
Troubleshooting
Try these steps before calling for service. For model-specific error messages, consult the manufacturer's manual or your phone system administrator.
| Problem | Possible cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Phone does not power on | Adapter not connected; outlet off. | Check the adapter connections and outlet. |
| "No service" or registration failed | Network or VLAN settings; provisioning error; account not active. | Restart the phone, confirm it obtains an IP address, and ask your administrator or provider to verify the account and provisioning. |
| Choppy audio, echo or one-way audio | Network congestion; firewall/NAT settings; Wi-Fi interference. | Use a wired connection, enable QoS for voice, and have the administrator check firewall SIP and RTP settings. |
| Display or keys unresponsive | Temporary software fault. | Restart the phone by disconnecting power (or removing the handset battery) for 30 seconds. |
Energy use and running costs
The Snom D713 draws 2.64 W in standby — the idle state it spends nearly all of its time in, connected to the network but not on a call. Plugged in 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, that is about 23.1 kWh per year, or $3.93 at $0.17 per kWh.
Talk time adds very little energy compared with standby, because calls are short relative to the hours the phone sits idle.
