Finding Additional Information
You can access the most current Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at this URL:
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 (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.
2OL-12474-01
CautionIn European Union countries, use only headsets that are fully compliant with the EMC
Directive [89/336/EC].

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G and 7911G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0 3
Connecting Your Phone
Your system administrator will likely connect your new Cisco Unified IP Phone to the corporate IP
telephony network. If that is not the case, refer to the graphics below to connect your phone.
The following graphic and table show how to connect the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G:

Adjusting the Handset Rest
When 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.

Set the handset aside and pull the square plastic tab from the handset rest.
1
Rotate the tab 180 degrees.
2
Slide the tab back into the handset rest. An extension protrudes from the top of the rotated tab.
3
Return the handset to the handset rest.
Registering with TAPS
After 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 Information
To 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.
6OL-12474-01
Connecting 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 (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.

Understanding Lines vs. Calls
To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:
• Lines—Each line corresponds to a phone number (or extension) that others can use to call you.
Your phone can support one line.
• Calls—Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports up to six connected
calls, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. Only one call
can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.
Understanding Line and Call Icons
Your phone displays icons to help you determine the call and line state (on-hook, on hold, ringing,
connected, and so on).

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G and 7911G provide a comprehensive online help system. To view
the phone help, press and choose Help.
Understanding Feature Availability
Depending on your phone system configuration, features included in this Phone Guide might not be
available to you or might work differently on your phone. Contact your support desk or system
administrator for information about feature operation or availability.
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.

Tips
• You can dial on-hook without a dial tone (pre-dial). To pre-dial, enter a number, then go off-hook
by lifting the handset and press Dial.
• When you pre-dial, your phone tries to anticipate the number you are dialing by displaying
matching numbers (if available) from your Placed Calls log. This is called Auto Dial. To call a
number displayed with Auto Dial, scroll to it, press Dial, and go off-hook.
• If you make a mistake while dialing, press << to erase digits.
• If parties on a call hear a beep tone, the call might be monitored or recorded. Ask your system
administrator for more information.

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.
