(SCCP phones only)
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 Series eLearning tutorials use audio and animation to demonstrate basic
calling features. You can access eLearning tutorials online (for several phone models) from your
personal computer. Look for the eLearning tutorial (English only) for your phone model in the
documentation list at the following location:
Safety and Performance Information
Refer to these sections for information about the impact of power outages and other devices on your
Cisco Unified IP Phone.
Power Outage
Your 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 Devices
The following information applies when you use external devices with the Cisco Unified IP Phone:
Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices (such as headsets) that are shielded against
unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Getting Started
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 external speakers, microphones, and headsets that
are fully compliant with the EMC Directive [89/336/EC].

Connecting Your Phone
Removing the Hookswitch Clip (Required)
Before you use your phone, remove the hookswitch clip from the cradle area. With the clip removed,
the hookswitch lifts slightly when you pick up the handset.
Adjusting the Handset Rest (Optional)
Cisco recommends adjusting the handset rest, particularly when wall-mounting the phones, as this will
ensure that the receiver will not readily slip out of the cradle. See the table below for instructions.
1
2
3
Set the handset aside and pull the square plastic tab from the handset rest.
Rotate the tab 180 degrees.
1
2
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.
Adjusting the Footstand (Optional)
To change the angle of the phone base, adjust the footstand while pressing the footstand button.

Registering with TAPS
After your phone is connected to the network, your system administrator might ask you to
auto-register your phone using TAPS (Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support). 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 re-start.
Headset Information
To use a headset, connect it to the headset port on the back of your phone.
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, like 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.
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 or power injector.
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.
For information about headsets, see:

Understanding SIP vs. SCCP
Your phone can be configured to work with one of two signaling protocols: SIP (Session Initiation
Protocol) or SCCP (Skinny Call Control Protocol). Your system administrator determines this
configuration.
Phone features can vary depending on the protocol. This Phone Guide indicates which features are
protocol-specific. To learn which protocol your phone is using, you can ask your system administrator
or you can choose
> Model Information > Call Control Protocol on your phone.

Basic Call Handling
Using Hold and Resume
You can hold and resume calls. When you put a call on hold, the Hold icon appears on the right in the
call information area and the corresponding line button flashes green. With a shared line, when you
place a call on hold, the line button flashes green and the phone displays the hold icon. When another
phone places a call on hold, the line button flashes red and the phone displays the remote hold icon.
If the Hold Reversion feature is enabled for your phone, a call that you put on hold reverts back to
ringing after a certain period of time. The “reverting” call remains on hold until you resume it or until
Hold Reversion times out.
Your phone indicates the presence of a reverting call by:
•
•
•
•
Alerting you at intervals with a single ring (or flash or beep, depending on your phone line setting).
Briefly displaying a “Hold Reversion” message in the status bar at the bottom of the phone screen.
Displaying the animated Hold Reversion icon next to the caller ID for the held call.

reverting call will resume.
•
If a non-reverting held call is the only call on the line, it will
resume.
2. If necessary, scroll to the appropriate call and press Resume.
Tips
•
•
Engaging the Hold feature typically generates music or a beeping tone.
If you receive an alert for an incoming call and a reverting call at the same time, by default your
phone will shift the focus of the phone screen to display the incoming call. Your system
administrator can change this focus priority setting.
•
•
If you use a shared line, Hold Reversion rings only on the phone that put the call on hold, not on
the other phones that share the line.
The duration between Hold Reversion alerts is determined by your system administrator.

Basic Call Handling
Sending a Call to a Voice Message System
You can use iDivert to send an active, ringing, or on-hold call to your voice message system. Depending
on the type of call and your phone configuration, you can also use iDivert to send the call to another
party's voice message system.
•
•
If the call was originally sent to someone else's phone, iDivert allows you to redirect the call either
to your own voice message system or to the original called party’s voice message system. Your
system administrator must make this option available to you.
If the call was sent to you directly (not transferred or forwarded to you), or if your phone does
not support the option described above, using iDivert redirects the call to your voice message
system.
If you want to...
Then...
Send an active, ringing, or on-hold call Press iDivert. One of two things occurs:
to a voice message system
•
•
The call is transferred to your voice message system.
Your phone screen displays a menu that allows you to
choose between your voice message system or the voice
message system of the original called party. Choose an
option to redirect the call.
Tip
If your phone displays a menu that disappears before you make your selection, you can press iDivert
again to re-display the menu. You can also ask your system administrator to configure a longer timeout
value.
Forwarding Calls to Another Number
You can use call forwarding features to redirect incoming calls from your phone to another number.
Your system administrator might allow you to choose from two types of call forwarding features:
•
•
Unconditional call forwarding (Call Forward All)—Applies to all calls that you receive.
Conditional call forwarding (Call Forward No Answer, Call Forward Busy, Call Forward No
Coverage)—Applies to certain calls that you receive, according to conditions.

2. Access your call forwarding settings. (See Controlling Line
Settings on the Web, page 73.)
Note When call forwarding is enabled for any line other than the
primary line, your phone does not provide you with
confirmation that calls are being forwarded. Instead, you must
confirm your settings in the User Options web pages.
Tips
•
•
•
•
Enter the call forward target number exactly as you would dial it from your phone. For example,
enter an access code or the area code, if necessary.
You can forward your calls to a traditional analog phone or to another IP phone, although your
system administrator might restrict the call forwarding feature to numbers within your company.
Call forwarding is phone line specific. If a call reaches you on a line where call forwarding is not
enabled, the call will ring as usual.
Your system administrator can enable a call forward override feature that allows the person
receiving your forwarded calls to reach you. With override enabled, a call placed from the target
phone to your phone is not forwarded, but rings through.
Using Do Not Disturb
You can use Do Not Disturb (DND) to block incoming calls from ringing your phone. Your system
administrator enables DND for your phone.
When DND and Call Forward are both enabled on your phone, calls are forwarded and the caller does
not hear a busy tone.

Placing or Receiving Intercom Calls
You can place an intercom call to a target phone that auto-answers the call in speakerphone mode with
mute activated. The one-way intercom call allows you to deliver a short message to the recipient. If
the recipient’s handset or headset is in use, the audio is sent to the device in use. Any current call
activity that your recipient is engaged in continues simultaneously.
The target destination receives an intercom-alert tone and can then choose to:
•
•
•
Listen to the caller with microphone muted (you can hear the caller, but the caller cannot hear
you).
End the intercom call by pressing the EndCall softkey with the intercom call in focus. Do this if
you do not want to hear the message.
Talk to the caller by pressing the active intercom button and using either the handset, headset or
speaker. The intercom call becomes a two-way connection so that you can talk with the caller.

Storing and Retrieving Parked Calls
You 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 Communications Manager system (for example, a phone at a
co-worker’s desk or in a conference room). You can park a call by using these methods:
•
•
Call Park—Use the Park softkey to store the call. Your phone displays the call park number where
the system stored your call. You must record this number and then use the same number to retrieve
the call.
Directed Call Park—Use the Transfer softkey to direct the call to an available directed call park
number that you dial or speed dial. To retrieve the call from a directed call park number, dial the
park retrieval prefix, then dial or speed dial the same directed call park number.
You can use a Directed Call Park button to speed-dial the directed call park number and to
monitor whether a directed call park number is occupied or available.
If you want to...
Then...

Your system administrator can assign Directed Call Park buttons to available line buttons on your
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 or 7971 or on your Cisco Unified IP Phone 7914 Expansion Module.
You can dial directed call park numbers if you do not have Directed Call Park buttons on your
phone. However, you will not be able to see the status of the directed call park number.
Logging Out of Hunt Groups
If your organization receives a large number of incoming calls, you might be a member of a hunt group.
A hunt group includes a series of directory numbers that share the incoming call load. When the first
directory number in the hunt group is busy, the system hunts for the next available directory number
in the group and directs the call to that phone.
When you are away from your phone, you can prevent hunt group calls from ringing your phone by
logging out of hunt groups.

Understanding Shared Lines
Remote-in-Use Icon
The 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 Barging
Phones that share a line each display information about calls that are placed and received on the shared
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 Using Barge to Add Yourself to a Shared-Line Call, page 47.
Privacy
If 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 Preventing Others from Viewing
or Barging a Shared-Line Call, page 49.
Note
The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone.
Using Barge to Add Yourself to a Shared-Line Call
You can use barge features (cBarge or Barge) to add yourself to calls on your shared line. (Calls must
be non-private calls. See Using a Shared Line, page 46.)
Understanding Barge Features
Barge features include cBarge and single-button or multi-touch Barge.
cBarge and Barge
Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a call on a shared line using
either cBarge or Barge:
•
cBarge converts the call into a standard conference, allowing you to add new participants. (See
Making Conference Calls, page 37 for information about standard conferences.)
•
Barge allows you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow
you to add new participants.

Single-button and Multi-touch Barge
Your system administrator determines whether the barge feature on your phone (cBarge or Barge)
operates as a single-button or multi-touch feature.
•
•
Single button barge allows you to press a line button to barge a call (SCCP phones only).
Multi-touch barge allows you to view call information before barging.

conference details.
•
•
•
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.
If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy disabled and it is configured with Private Line
Automated Ringdown (PLAR), the barge and cBarge features will still be available.
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.
