Getting Started


Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

10 OL-10007-01

Getting Started

Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

Caution Inline power circuits provide current through the communication cable. Use the Cisco provided cable or a minimum 24 AWG communication cable.

Using an External Power SupplyThe following warnings apply when you use the external power supply with the Cisco Unified IP Phone:

Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

Warning The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device.

Warning The power supply must be placed indoors.

Caution Use only a Cisco specified power supply with this product.

Power OutageYour accessibility to emergency service through the phone is dependent on the phone being powered. If there is an interruption in the power supply, Service and Emergency Calling Service dialing will not function until power is restored. In the case of a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure equipment before using the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.


Using External DevicesThe following information applies when you use external devices with the Cisco Unified IP Phone:

Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices (headsets) that are shielded against unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals.

Depending on the quality of these devices and their proximity to other devices such as mobile phones or two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur. In these cases, Cisco recommends that you take one or more of the following actions:

• Move the external device away from the source of the RF or AF signals.

• Route the external device cables away from the source of the RF or AF signals.

• Use shielded cables for the external device, or use cables with a better shield and connector.

• Shorten the length of the external device cable.

• Apply ferrites or other such devices on the cables for the external device.

Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of the system because Cisco has no control over the quality of external devices, cables, and connectors. The system will perform adequately when suitable devices are attached using good quality cables and connectors.

Caution In European Union countries, use only headsets that are fully compliant with the EMC Directive [89/336/EC].

Accessibility FeaturesA list of accessibility features is available upon request.

Adjusting the Handset RestWhen you connect your phone, you might want to adjust the handset rest to ensure that the receiver will not slip out of the cradle. See the table below for instructions.

Registering with TAPSAfter your phone is connected to the network, your system administrator might ask you to auto-register your phone using the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS). TAPS might be used either for a new phone or to replace an existing phone.

To register with TAPS, pick up the handset, enter the TAPS extension provided by your system administrator, and follow the voice prompts. You might need to enter your entire extension, including the area code. After your phone displays a confirmation message, hang up. The phone will restart.

Headset InformationTo use a headset, make sure the handset is disconnected, then connect the headset to the Handset port on the back of your phone.

Depending on headset manufacturer’s recommendations, an external amplifier may be required. Refer to headset manufacturer’s product documentation for more information.

1 Set the handset aside and pull the square plastic tab from the handset rest.

2 Rotate the tab 180 degrees.

3 Slide the tab back into the handset rest. An extension protrudes from the top of the rotated tab. Return the handset to the handset rest.

Although Cisco Systems performs some internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are deployed, there is not a single “best” solution that is optimal for all environments. Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets that work best in their environment before deploying a large number of units in their network.

In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause remote parties to hear an echo of their own voice when they speak to Cisco Unified IP Phone users.

Cisco Systems recommends the use of good quality external devices (headsets) that are screened against unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals. Depending on the quality of these devices and their proximity to other devices such as cell phones and two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur. See the “Using External Devices” section on page 12 for more information.

The primary reason that support of a headset would be inappropriate for the Cisco Unified IP Phone is the potential for an audible hum. This hum can either be heard by the remote party or by both the remote party and you, the Cisco Unified IP Phone user. Some potential humming or buzzing sounds can be caused by a range of outside sources, for example, electric lights, being near electric motors, large PC monitors. In some cases, a hum experienced by a user may be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube. See the “Using an External Power Supply” section on page 11 for more information.

Audio Quality Subjective to the User

Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound good to you (the user) and to the party on the far end. Sound is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of any headsets or handsets, but some of the headsets and handsets on the sites listed below have been reported to perform well with Cisco Unified IP Phones.

Nevertheless, it is ultimately still the customer’s responsibility to test this equipment in their own environment to determine suitable performance.

Using a Shared LineYour system administrator might ask you to use a shared line if you:

• Have multiple phones and want one phone number

• Share call-handling tasks with coworkers

• Handle calls on behalf of a manager

Understanding Shared Lines

Remote-in-Use IconThe remote-in-use icon appears when another phone that shares your line has a connected call. You can place and receive calls as usual on the shared line, even when the remote-in-use icon appears.

Sharing Call Information and BargingPhones that share a line each display information about calls that are placed and received on the shared line. This information might include caller ID and call duration. (See the Privacy section for exceptions.)

When call information is visible in this way, you and coworkers who share a line can add yourselves to calls using either Barge or cBarge. See the “Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call” section on page 33.

PrivacyIf you do not want coworkers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable the Privacy feature. Doing so also prevents coworkers from barging your calls. See the “Preventing Others from Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call” section on page 34.

Note The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone.

32 OL-10007-01


Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line CallDepending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a call on a shared line using either Barge or cBarge.

Tips• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys

will not appear on the other phones that share the line.

• You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold, transferred, or turned into a conference call.


See if the shared line is in use

Look for the remote-in-use icon .

Add yourself to a call on a shared line using the Barge softkey

1. Highlight a remote-in-use call.

2. Press Barge. (You may need to press the more softkey to display Barge.)

Other parties hear a beep tone announcing your presence.

Add yourself to a call on a shared line using the cBarge softkey

1. Highlight a remote-in-use call.

2. Press cBarge. (You may need to press the more softkey to display cBarge.)

Other parties hear a tone and brief audio interruption, and call information changes on the phone screen.

Add new conference participants to a call that you have barged

Barge the call using cBarge, if available.

Unlike Barge, cBarge converts the call into a standard conference call, allowing you to add new participants. See the “Making Conference Calls” section on page 27.

Leave a barged call Hang up.

If you hang up after using Barge, the remaining parties hear a disconnect tone and the original call continues.

If you hang up after using cBarge, the call remains a conference call (provided at least three participants remain on the line).


Preventing Others from Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line CallIf you share a phone line, you can use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share the line from viewing or barging (adding themselves to) your calls.

Tips• If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the

shared line as usual.

• The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers will not be able to view or barge calls on any of your shared lines.

Storing and Retrieving Parked CallsYou can park a call when you want to store the call so that you or someone else can retrieve it from another phone in the Cisco Unified CallManager system (for example, a phone at a coworker’s desk or in a conference room).

Note You have a limited amount of time to retrieve a parked call before it reverts to ringing at the original number. See your system administrator for details.


Prevent others from viewing or barging calls on a shared line

1. Press more > Private.

2. To verify that Privacy is on, look for the Privacy-enabled icon next to “Private” on the phone screen.

Allow others to view or barge calls on a shared line

1. Press more > Private.

2. To verify that Privacy is off, look for the Privacy-disabled icon next to “Private” on the phone screen.


Store an active call using Call Park

1. During a call, press Park. (You may need to press the more softkey to see Park.)

2. Record the call park number displayed on your phone screen.

3. Hang up.

Retrieve a parked call Enter the call park number from any Cisco Unified IP Phone in your network to connect to the call.

34 OL-10007-01


Making and Receiving Secure CallsDepending on how your system administrator has configured your phone system, your phone might support making and receiving secure calls.

Your phone is capable of supporting these types of calls:

• Authenticated call—The identities of all phones participating in the call have been verified.

• Encrypted call—The phone is receiving and transmitting encrypted audio (your conversation) within the Cisco IP network. Encrypted calls are also authenticated.

• Non-secure call—At least one of the participating phones or the connection does not support these security features, or the phones cannot be verified.

Note There are interactions, restrictions, and limitations that affect how security features work on your phone. For more information, ask your system administrator.

Tracing Suspicious CallsIf you are receiving suspicious or malicious calls, your system administrator can add the Malicious Call Identification (MCID) feature to your phone. This feature enables you to identify an active call as suspicious, which initiates a series of automated tracking and notification messages.


Check the security level of a call Look for a security icon in the top right corner of the call activity area, next to the call duration timer:

Authenticated call

Encrypted call

Neither security icon appears if the call is non-secure.

Determine if secure calls can be made in your company

Contact your system administrator.


Notify your system administrator about a suspicious or harassing call

Press MCID.

Your phone plays a tone and displays the message, “MCID successful.”


Prioritizing Critical CallsIn some specialized environments, such as military or government offices, you might need to make and receive urgent or critical calls. If you have the need for this specialized call handling, your system administrator can add Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) to your phone.

Keep these terms in mind:

• Precedence indicates the priority associated with a call.

• Preemption is the process of ending an existing, lower priority call while accepting a higher priority call that is sent to your phone.

Tips• When you make or receive an MLPP-enabled call, you will hear special ring tones and call waiting

tones that differ from the standard tones.

• If you enter an invalid MLPP access number, a verbal announcement will alert you of the error.

If you... Then...

Want to choose a priority (precedence) level for an outgoing call

Contact your system administrator for a list of corresponding precedence numbers for calls.

Want to make a priority (precedence) call

Enter the MLPP access number (provided by your system administrator) followed by the phone number.

Hear a special ring (faster than usual) or special call waiting tone

You are receiving a priority (precedence) call. An MLPP icon on your phone screen indicates the priority level of the call.

Want to view priority level of a call Look for an MLPP icon on your phone screen:

Priority call

Medium priority (immediate) call

High priority (flash) call

Highest priority (flash override) or Executive Override call

Higher priority calls are displayed at the top of your call list. If you do not see an MLPP icon, the priority level of the call is normal (routine).

Want to accept a higher-priority call Answer the call as usual. If necessary, end an active call first.

Hear a continuous tone interrupting your call

You or the other party are receiving a call that must preempt the current call. Hang up immediately to allow the higher priority call to ring through.

36 OL-10007-01


Using Cisco Extension MobilityCisco Extension Mobility (EM) allows you to temporarily configure a Cisco Unified IP Phone as your own. Once you log in to EM, the phone adopts your user profile, including your phone lines, features, established services, and web-based settings. Your system administrator must configure EM for you.

Tips• EM automatically logs you out after a certain amount of time. This time limit is established by

your system administrator.

• Changes that you make to your EM profile (from the User Options web pages) take effect the next time that you log in to EM on a phone.

• Settings that are controlled on the phone only are not maintained in your EM profile.

• You must press more to reveal additional softkeys.

• You must change the line state (for example, go off-hook or have a connected call).

• Your phone is not configured to support the feature associated with that softkey.

Join fails Join requires multiple selected calls. Be sure that you have selected at least one call in addition to the active call, which is selected automatically.

Barge fails and results in a fast busy tone
