Safety and Performance Information
Installing and Using Your Video Phone
Read the following safety notices before installing or using your Cisco Unified IP Video Phone:
Warning
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury.
Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical
circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the
statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the
translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
Warning
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and
regulations.
Warning
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
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.
Warning
Telephone receivers produce a magnetic field that can attract small magnetic objects
such as pins and staples. To avoid the possibility of injury, do not place the handset
where such objects may be picked up.

Using an External Power Supply
The following warnings apply when you use the external power supply with the Cisco Unified IP Video
Phone 7985G:
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
Warning
The device is designed to work with TN power systems.
The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the
main disconnecting device.
Caution
Only use the Cisco specified power supply with this product.
Using External Devices with Your Cisco Unified IP Video Phone
The following information applies when you use external devices with the Cisco Unified IP Video
Phone:
Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices (such as 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 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 screened cables for the external device, or use cables with a better screen 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 by using good quality cables and connectors.
Caution
4
In European Union countries, use only external headsets that are fully compliant with the
EMC Directive [89/336/EC].

Understanding Lines Versus Calls
Be sure not to confuse lines and calls on your phone. Use these tips to avoid confusion:
Lines
Your phone can support up to a maximum of 8 lines or phone extensions, depending on how your
system administrator configured your programmable buttons. To see how many lines you have, press
the Line button to open the line menu. You have as many lines as you have extension numbers.
Each line can support a certain number of calls, depending on your phone’s configuration. By default,
each line can support a maximum of 4 calls, but your system administrator can adjust this number
according to your needs. So you might find yourself handling several calls, even though you have only
one line on your phone.
Calls
Each phone supports a maximum of 200 calls, but only a maximum of 100 calls per line. If you have
one line, your system administrator can configure your phone to support up to 100 calls on this single
line, or, if you have two lines, you might have 100 calls on each of the two lines, for a maximum of
200 calls.

Understanding Call and Line Icons
Your phone displays icons to help you determine the call and line state (on-hook, on hold, ringing,
connected, and so on).
Icon
Call State
Description
Connected call A type of active call in which you are currently connected to the other
party. Many phone features require that you have a connected call.
Off-hook
A type of active call in which you are actively dialing a number or an
outgoing call is ringing. You have not yet connected with the other party.
On-hook
No call activity on this line. You might be using on-hook dialing features,
but the call is not in-progress until you go off-hook. See the “Placing a
Video Call” section on page 19 for details.
Ringing
A incoming call is ringing on one of your lines. See the “Placing a Video
Call” section on page 19 for details.
Call on hold
Shared line
The call is on hold. See the “Using Hold and Resume” section on page 22
for details.
Another phone that shares the line has an active connected call. See the
“Using a Shared Line” section on page 31 for details.
Going On-Hook and Off-Hook
Some phone tasks and instructions differ depending on whether the phone is on-hook or off-hook.
•
On-Hook—The phone handset rests in the cradle, no calls are active, and you do not have an
active dial tone. Your phone provides on-hook dialing, which enables you to enter or choose
phone numbers before activating the call.
•
Off-Hook—The phone handset is lifted from the cradle, the speakerphone is active, or any of
several other methods are used to get a dial tone (to make a call) or to answer an incoming call.

You can have only one call be active at any given time; other calls will get placed on hold
automatically.
When you have multiple calls on one line, calls with the highest precedence and longest duration
display at the top of the call list.
The call list shows calls of a similar type grouped together. For example, any calls with which you
have interacted get grouped together near the top. Next the list shows all selected calls grouped
together. Finally, the list shows any calls that you have not yet answered or with which you have
otherwise interacted grouped near the bottom of the list.
Understanding Feature Functionality and Availability
The operation of your Cisco Unified IP Video Phone and the features available to you may vary,
depending on the call processing agent used by your company and also on how your company’s phone
support team has configured your phone system. Therefore, some of the features this Video Phone
Guide includes might not be available to you or might work differently on your phone system. Contact
your support desk or system administrator if you have questions about feature availability.

Making Conference Calls
Conference calling allows three or more parties to participate in a call simultaneously. Your Cisco
Unified IP Video Phone can support several types of conference calls depending on your needs and
your phone configuration. The softkeys identify which methods are available on your phone:
•
Confrn—Use this softkey to establish standard conferences by calling each participant
individually. Standard conference calling represents a default feature that is available on most
phones.
•
•
•
Join—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference among several calls who are already on
the line.
cBarge—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference call on a shared line. Your system
administrator must configure this optional feature that is available only for shared lines.
Meet-Me—Use this softkey to host a conference (up to 100 participants, depending on
configuration) that requires participants to call an established number at a specific time. Your
system administrator must configure this optional feature for you.
Starting and Joining a Standard Conference
A standard conference allows at least three people to participate in a single call. The conference gets
set up as an audio conference or a video conference depending on how your system administrator
configured your phone. The system administrator also configures what kind of view that is displayed.
The VidMode softkey allows the user to switch between Voice Activated and Continuous view of the
conference. Voice Activated view displays the speaking part in full screen. Continuous view displays
all participants on the screen simultaneously.
If you want to...
Then...

Picking Up a Ringing Call to Your Phone
Your system administrator might enable Call PickUp for your phone if you share call-handling
responsibilities with co-workers. Call PickUp allows you to answer a call that is ringing on a
coworker’s phone by redirecting the call to your own phone. You can use Call PickUp features to
handle calls for co-workers who are in your call pickup group (PickUp), who are in another pickup
group (GPickUp), or who are in a group associated with your group (OPickUp).
If you want to...
Then...

With OPickUp, your system administrator can associate multiple call pickup groups with your
group and assign a priority to the groups. When you press OPickUp, you connect the ringing call
in the pickup group with the highest priority.
If you want to pick up the call on an extension other than your primary line, first press an available
line button and then press a Call PickUp softkey.
Using a Shared Line
Your system administrator might assign a “shared” phone line to you. Typically, a shared line has two
main uses:
•
One person uses multiple phones—For example, your shared line is assigned to both your desk
phone and a lab phone. An incoming call to the shared line rings on both phones and you can use
either phone to answer the call.
•
Multiple people share a line—For example, you are one of many people who can handle incoming
calls on the shared line, or you are a manager who shares an extension number with your assistant.
Understanding Shared Lines
Remote-in-Use
If you have a shared line, you might see the remote-in-use icon on your phone screen:
(Shared
line icon. This icon indicates that a co-worker is currently using the shared line. You can place and
receive calls as usual on a shared line, even when the remote-in-use icon appears.
Sharing Call Information and Barging
Unless a co-worker who shares your line has the Privacy feature enabled, you can see information on
your phone screen about calls that your co-worker places and receives on the shared line. This
information might include caller ID and call duration. Conversely, when you are using a shared line,
information about your call is displayed on the co-worker’s phone screen.
When call information is visible in this way, you and co-workers can add yourselves to calls on the
shared line using either the Barge or cBarge feature. Adding yourself to a call on a shared line is called
barging. For more information about barging, see the “Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call” section
Privacy
If you do not want co-workers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable the
Privacy feature. Doing so also prevents co-workers from barging your calls. See the “Preventing Others

Maximum Supported Calls on a Shared Line
The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone. Thus, at times you might
not be able to make a new call on the shared line even if your co-worker can. For example, your phone
supports a maximum of four calls on a shared line and your co-worker’s phone supports five calls on
the same line. If there are four calls on the line, the NewCall softkey is unavailable to you but available
to your co-worker.
Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call
Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to an established call on a shared
line using Barge or cBarge. Typically, only one of these features will be available to you.

Tips
•
•
Barge and cBarge softkeys are not available for private calls.
You cannot barge an encrypted call if the phone you are using is not configured for encryption.
When your barge attempt fails for this reason, your phone plays a fast busy tone.
•
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.
Preventing Others from Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call
If you use a shared line, you can use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share this line from
viewing or barging your calls (adding themselves to calls on the shared lines using the Barge or cBarge
feature.)

Tips
•
If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the
shared line as usual. However, you cannot add yourself to existing calls on the shared line, and the
barge softkeys will not be available to you.
•
The privacy feature applies to all shared lines on the phone. Consequently, if you have multiple
shared lines on your phone and Privacy is enabled, coworkers will not be able to view or barge
calls on any of your shared lines.

Storing and Retrieving Parked Calls
You can “park” a call when you want to store the call, so you or someone else can retrieve it from
another phone in the Cisco Unified CallManager system (for example, at a coworker’s desk or in a
conference room). Call Park designates a special feature that your system administrator may configure
for you.
If you want to...

This prompts your phone to store the call. Make a note of the call park
number that displays on your screen and hang up.
Retrieve a parked call
From any Cisco Unified IP Video Phone in your network, enter the call
park number to connect to the call.
Note
You have limited time to retrieve the parked call before it reverts to ringing at its original
destination. Your system administrator can explain this time limit.
Tracing Suspicious Calls
If 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.
If you want to...
Then...
Identify a suspicious call
Press MCID. You will receive a special tone and see the
message, “MCID successful” on your phone. The call remains
active until you end the call.
Prioritizing Critical Calls
In some specialized environments, such as military or government offices, you might need to make and
receive urgent or critical calls. These critical calls might require higher priority handling, such as being
able to preempt other 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.
