THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT
NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT
ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION
PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO
LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate
radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television
reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in
part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class
A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct
any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco
equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by
using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television
or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

TAC Case Priority Definitions
To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established
case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around
the clock to resolve the situation.
Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by
inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time
resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most
business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources
during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product
capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your
business operations.

Introducing Your Cisco IP Phone
A Cisco IP Phone is a full-featured telephone that provides voice communication
over the same data network that your computer uses. This phone functions much
like a traditional analog phone, allowing you to place and receive telephone calls.
It also supports features that you have come to expect from a telephone—such as
speed dialing, redial, call transfer, conference calling, and voice messaging
access.
Your Cisco IP Phone offers features that might surprise you. Because it is part of
an IP network, your Cisco IP Phone can provide not only telephony services, but
also data services—including up-to-the-minute information and services from the
network. With a Cisco IP Phone, you have access to a whole range of
communication features that are not available on a traditional telephone.
This guide helps you learn how to use the various features and services available
on your phone. Not all of the features described in this book are available by
default—your system administrator determines the services that are available to
you. You access some phone features and services on the phone itself, while you
customize others on a convenient web page. For information about the User
Options web page, see Chapter 6, “Customizing Your Phone on the Web.”
Note
Your company’s phone support team determines which features and services are
available to you and how they will be configured. Some of the features included
in this User Guide 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.

Before You Begin
Verify that your system administrator is ready for you to connect your
Cisco IP Phone to the network.
Warning
Be sure to read Appendix B, “Safety Notices,” before connecting or using your
phone.
Procedure
Step 1
Connect your Cisco IP Phone to the corporate IP telephony network. You can do
this in one of two ways, depending on how your workspace is set up. (See your
system administrator if you are not sure which method to choose.)
•
Direct network connection—For this method, you need at least one available
Ethernet port in your workspace. Use the Ethernet cable included with your
phone to connect the network port on the back of your phone to the Ethernet
port in your workspace.
•
Shared network connection—Use this method if you have a single Ethernet
port in your workspace with your desktop computer already connected to it.
First, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the computer and attach it to the
network port on the back of your phone. Next, use the Ethernet cable included
with your phone to connect the access port on the back of your phone to your
desktop computer. Your Cisco IP Phone now shares a network connection
with your computer.

Step 2
Connect the handset to the handset port. Ensure that the end of the cord with the
longer uncoiled section is connected to the body of the phone.
Step 3
If your system administrator delivered your Cisco IP Phone with a power supply,
connect the power supply plug to the DC48V AC adapter port on the back of the
phone.
If your system administrator delivered your phone without a power supply, your
phone probably receives power through the Ethernet connection.
Step 4
Use the power cable to connect the power supply to a standard power outlet in
your workspace.
Step 5
To adjust the footstand height, release the footstand by pressing the footstand
adjustment knob and gently pull the footstand away from the body of the phone.
See the “Adjusting the Handset Rest” section on page 1-13 for information on
adjusting the handset rest to make sure the receiver will sit securely in the cradle.
Startup
Once you connect the Cisco IP Phone to its power source, a startup process
begins. After several minutes, the phone’s LCD screen displays a neutral “ready”
screen. The details on your screen might vary, but a ready screen typically
displays the date and time, your extension number, and the available softkeys.
Startup is complete and your phone is ready to use.
Tip
Softkeys point to feature options displayed along the bottom of your LCD screen.
Softkeys are flexible—they change depending on the status of your phone. See the
“Using Softkeys” section on page 1-11 for additional information.
Identifying Buttons and Hardware
See the following illustrations and table to identify the buttons and hardware on
your Cisco IP Phone, and find descriptions of related features.

Tracing Suspicious Calls
Tracing Suspicious Calls
If you receive a suspicious call, you can notify your system administrator by using
the Malicious Call Identification (MCID) feature. This feature allows you to trace
the source of a suspicious call, through either a feature button or a softkey, and
identify the call for further action.
Note
MCID is a feature that your system administrator must configure to your user
profile and/or to the IP phone that is associated with your user ID. If you use the
Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility service, the MCID feature is available
only on an IP phone that you are logged into. Check with your system
administrator to find out if this feature has been enabled for you.
If you see the MCID softkey available on your phone, you can press this softkey
while you are connected to a call or while you are on a conference call.
•
If you answer a call and are uncertain about the caller information, use the
MCID feature. Press the MCID feature button (or softkey) that was assigned
by your system administrator while continuing your existing call.
•
You will see a visual indication of the calling line ID and calling name of the
caller, along with an audible confirmation tone that the call was identified and
registered.
Extending Speed Dial Functionality
You can enhance and extend the speed dial functionality on your phone by using
the abbreviated dialing feature. Abbreviated dialing allows you to quickly call a
number that you have configured. Press an abbreviated dial entry index number
(one or two digits) while your phone is on-hook, and then press the AbbrDial
softkey. (The AbbrDial softkey is displayed once you start to press the digits.)
You can configure up to 99 speed dial and/or abbreviated dial entries from the
Cisco CallManager User Options web page. Some of the speed dials can be
assigned to the speed-dial buttons on your phone. The entries that are not assigned
to the speed-dial buttons are available for use with the abbreviated dialing feature.

Setting Up a Priority Call
When you set up a precedence call, you select a priority level for the call based
on a preconfigured pattern of numbers assigned by your system administrator.
(Precedence levels are selected on a per-call basis.)
Receiving a Priority Call
A precedence call is a call with a higher priority than an existing call.
When you receive a precedence call, an icon indicating the priority level is
displayed on your phone’s LCD screen and you will hear a special ring tone. To
connect a precedence call, you must hang up the phone. You will hear a priority
ring tone, and the precedence call is connected.
Follow these steps to set up and receive an MLPP call.
Procedure
Step 1
Dial the MLPP call using the numbers configured by your system administrator
(for example, dial 90 followed by the extension).
You will hear the preemption tone if the call is to be preempted by the higher
priority call.
Step 2
If you are the called party, acknowledge the priority call by hanging up the phone,
which preempts the existing call.
You will hear a priority ringing tone, and the priority call is connected.
If you do not acknowledge the priority call, the call is redirected. See the “MLPP
Messages” section on page 2-13 for additional information.

Adding Your Line to a Shared Line Call
Note
When you press the Join softkey from a connected call or from another
call, that call is automatically included in the conference call (if not
specifically selected).
Tips for using the Join feature:
•
A minimum of two calls must be selected.
•
You can connect up to 16 participants into one conference call.
•
The connection of two or more conference calls is not supported.
•
All calls selected must be on the same line appearance when you initiate join
from your phone (except when you use Cisco IP Manager Assistant
(Cisco IPMA), which can select calls across line appearances).
Adding Your Line to a Shared Line Call
If you use a shared line, you can add yourself to an established call by using the
Barge feature.
Understanding Shared Lines
Your system administrator might assign you a shared line. Shared lines can be
applied to multiple phones or multiple parties can share a line.
•
One party applies a shared line to multiple phones that are used—For
example, your shared line with extension 2230 applies to your desk phone and
your mobile phone. You can also log into a phone in your lab enabling the lab
phone to temporarily share your extension as well. In this case, an incoming
call to extension 2230 rings on your desk phone, lab phone and mobile phone.
You can use any of these phones to answer the call.
•
Multiple parties share a line—For example, you are a manager who shares a

Making Conference Calls on Your Phone
Adding Your Line to a Shared Line Call
Support for Conference Modes
Cisco IP Phones support barge in two conference modes:
Note
•
Using the Barge softkey and conference resources that are built into the
phone. Barge allows you to join an in-progress call with minimal interruption
to the call. When you use Barge, other parties on the call hear a beep tone
announcing your presence. Barge does not change the original call
information display. You cannot add additional callers to a barged call. When
you hang up, the remaining parties hear a disconnect tone, and the original
call continues. The maximum number of parties for a Barge call is limited to
three.
•
Using the cBarge softkey and shared conference resources. cBarge allows you
to join an in-progress call and convert it to a standard conference call. With
cBarge, every party is treated as an ad hoc conference call participant; all call
participants have the same features available as in standard conferences.
When you use cBarge, other parties on the call hear a tone and brief
interruption in the call; the original call information changes on the LCD
screen. When you hang up, the call remains as a conference call provided at
least three participants remain. cBarge allows multiple parties (3-16) to barge
into a call.
The Barge softkey is enabled by default. Your system administrator might
determine that Barge or cBarge is the more appropriate option for your company
and then assign that specific softkey to your phone. Check with your system
administrator to find out if Barge or cBarge has been enabled for you.
Follow these steps to add yourself to a call on one of your shared lines:
Procedure
Step 1
Select an active call on one of your shared lines.
Step 2
If your system administrator assigned the Barge softkey to your phone, follow
Step 3 and Step 4. If your system administrator assigned the cBarge softkey to
your phone, follow Step 5 and Step 6. See the “Support for Conference Modes”
section on page 4-5 for information about Barge and cBarge.

Chapter 4
Making Conference Calls on Your Phone
Adding Your Line to a Shared Line Call
Step 3
Press the Barge softkey, if your system administrator assigned Barge to your
phone.
The phone creates a conference call and sends a beep tone to all of the conference
participants. (If the barge fails, the original call remains active.)
Note
Step 4
Contact your system administrator if a message similar to
“No Conference Bridge Available” appears on your phone’s LCD screen
when you press the Barge softkey.
To end the conference, hang up.
The remaining parties hear a disconnect tone, and the original call continues. If
the target shared line call that was barged hangs up, the call returns to a two-party
call between the original connected party and the party who initiated the barge. If
the original party (who was connected to the target shared line party) hangs up,
the Barge call is terminated and all parties are disconnected.
Note
Step 5
You are disconnected from a barged call if the target shared line call is put on hold,
transferred, or converted to a conference call.
Press the cBarge softkey, if your system administrator assigned cBarge to your
phone.
The phone creates an ad hoc conference call, which changes the original call
information display.
Step 6
To end the conference, hang up.
If any party hangs up and only two parties remain in the conference call, the
remaining two parties are connected as a two-party direct call.
When you use Barge:
•
The target shared line cannot be on two barged calls at the same time.
•
The party who initiated the barge is dropped when the target shared line puts
the barged call on hold.
•
The party who initiated the barge is dropped when the target shared line
answers an incoming call.

Tips for Cleaning Your Cisco IP Phone
Caring for your Cisco IP Phone is easy. To clean your phone, use a soft cloth,
when needed. Do not use any liquids or powders on your phone for cleaning or
other purposes. Using anything other than a soft cloth can contaminate your
phone’s components and cause failures.
Tips for General Troubleshooting on Your
Cisco IP Phone
If you encounter problems with your phone, use the tips provided in Table 10-1
on page 10-2 to help troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

a vertical (wall-mounted) position. The position of the tab can
interfere with the handset as it is placed in the cradle.
•
If the phone remains in the on-hook position, you might
experience continued ringing when you try to answer a call or
a lack of dial tone when you try to place a call. To resolve this
problem, you might need to reverse the clip.
•
If the handset cradle clip is in the wall-mounted position and
your phone is placed on a desktop, slide the clip upward to
remove it. Rotate the clip 180 degrees and slide it back in so that
the tab is hidden.
•
If the hook switch remains in the up position, tapping on the
phone should free the switch. You can also try pushing, and
suddenly releasing, the off-hook button after the handset has
been picked.
For additional information about adjusting the handset, see the
“Adjusting the Handset Rest” section on page 1-13.
Hook switch contact
performance is degraded and
causes intermittent operation
The hook switch contacts on the phone use a wiping action to
self-clean the contacts. If your phone is not used on a regular basis,
dust and other airborne contaminants might degrade the contact
performance and result in intermittent operation. If you have
periods of limited phone usage, you can clean the contacts by
quickly pressing and releasing the hook switch a dozen times.

Glare on the phone’s LCD screen The footstand on the phone is designed to allow adjustment for
several positions to eliminate glare on the LCD screen. Adjust your
phone for optimum LCD screen clarity. See the “Connecting Your
Cisco IP Phone” section on page 1-2.
False off-hook condition because
of phone positioning or cable
usage
•
When the phone is in the most vertical position, the phone
might be forced forward and the handset might not sit properly
in the cradle. This creates a false off-hook condition. We
recommend that you position the phone one notch from the
most vertical position to ensure that the handset is firmly
resting on the hook switch.
•
Check to make sure that the LAN cable connected to the phone
is positioned properly. The LAN cable should be positioned to
pass out of the side of the phone between the base and the
footstand. If you are using a different cable than the one that
was packaged with your phone, the cable might not fit under the
rear of the footstand. This can cause the phone to tilt forward
and force it off-hook. Using the correct size LAN cable will
eliminate this problem.

If I cannot answer a call that I have forwarded to another number, will the call get rerouted to my voice messaging
If I cannot answer a call that I have forwarded to
another number, will the call get rerouted to my
voice messaging system?
Yes—as long as the forwarded call is not picked up by a person or an answering
machine. Although call forwarding sends an incoming call intended for your
Cisco IP Phone to another number, your Cisco IP Phone does not relinquish the
forwarded call unless the call is answered (in other words, picked up by a person
or an answering machine). Your Cisco IP Phone considers a forwarded call
“unanswered” after a certain number of rings. Unanswered, forwarded calls are
redirected to your voice messaging system (if one is available).
How do I set priority levels for my calls?
You can set and see the priority levels for your calls by using the
Multilevel Precedence and Preemption feature. With this feature, authorized
parties can place priority calls and preempt lower priority calls. This feature must
be enabled by your system administrator.
For more information, see the “Setting Up and Receiving Priority Calls” section
on page 2-11.
How can I send calls directly to a voice messaging
system?
You can use call forwarding from your phone or from the User Options web page
to send calls directly to a voice messaging system without ringing your desk top
phone. Follow the procedure in the “Forwarding Calls to Another Extension”
section on page 3-6 and choose the Voice Messaging option.
You can also immediately redirect an incoming call to your voice messaging
system, or an outgoing call to the voice messaging system of the called party, by
using the Immediate Divert feature from your phone. See the “Sending Calls to a
Voice Messaging System” section on page 3-8.
