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.

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

2 OL-22334-01

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

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 graphic and table below to connect
your phone.

Adjusting the Handset Rest

When you connect your phone, you may 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 may ask you to auto-register
your phone using TAPS (Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support). TAPS can 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 may need to enter your entire extension, including
the area code. After your phone displays a confirmation message, hang up. The phone will re-start.

6 OL-22334-01

Connecting Your Phone

Headset Support

Although Cisco Systems performs limited 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.

Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices, for example 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 and two-way radios, some
audio noise or echo can still occur. An audible hum or buzz may be heard by either the remote party
or by both the remote party and the Cisco Unified IP Phone user. Humming or buzzing sounds can be
caused by a range of outside sources; for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors.
See Using External Devices, page 2 for more information.

Note In some cases, hum can be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube or

power injector.

These environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are
deployed means that no single headset solution is optimal for all environments.

Cisco recommends that customers test headsets in their intended environment to determine
performance before making a purchasing decision and deploying en masse.

Audio Quality Subjective to the User

Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must
sound good to the user and to the party on the far end. Sound quality is subjective and Cisco cannot
guarantee the performance of any headsets However, a variety of headsets from leading headset
manufacturers have been reported to perform well with Cisco Unified IP Phones. See the
manufacturers’ sites for details.

For information about wireless headsets that work in conjunction with the wireless headset remote
hookswitch control feature, go to this URL:

Understanding Lines and Calls

To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:

• Lines—There are 24 programmable buttons (see Understanding Buttons and Hardware, page 9).
Typically, your system administrator assigns some of these lines (up to 24) to be used as lines for
making and receiving calls. Each corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that
others can use to call you.

Some of your lines may share the same directory number, and others may have unique directory
numbers. To see your phone lines, use the Navigation button to scroll through the list of
programmable button display (see Understanding Phone Screen Features, page 15).

Buttons configured as lines display their assigned directory number and associated button number.
For example, if you have directory number “3105” assigned to button 1, the line appears as
3105:01 on the phone screen. Each line also has an associated icon to help you identify its purpose
(see Understanding Line and Call Icons, page 14).

• Calls—Each line can support a single call. If multiple lines share a directory number, each line can
still support one call each.

by lifting the handset, pressing Dial, or pressing ( ) or .

• 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 and go off-hook or press the Select button.

Basic Call Handling

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.

• Displaying a line button (flashing, depending on the line state).

If you want to... Then...

are being chaperoned.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5(1) (SCCP and SIP) 27

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
to a voice-message system

Press iDivert. One of two things occurs:

• 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 that of
the originally called party. Choose an option to redirect
the call.

Tips

• If your phone displays a menu that disappears before you make your selection, you can press

iDivert again to redisplay the menu. You can also ask your system administrator to configure a
longer time-out value.

• When you switch an in-progress call from your mobile phone to Cisco Unified devices that share
the same line (Session Handoff), the iDivert feature is disabled on the Cisco Unified devices. The
iDivert feature returns when the call ends.

• 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.

• When you switch an in-progress call from your mobile phone to Cisco Unified devices that share
the same line (Session Handoff), the iDivert feature is disabled on the Cisco Unified devices. The
iDivert feature returns when the call ends.

28 OL-22334-01

Basic Call Handling

Forwarding Calls to Another Number

You can use the call forwarding features to redirect incoming calls from your phone to
another number.

Your system administrator may 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.

You can access Call Forward All on your phone or from your Cisco Unified CM User Options web
pages; conditional call forwarding features are accessible only from your User Options web pages.
Your system administrator determines which call forwarding features are available to you.

If you want to... Then...

Set up Call Forward All on
your primary line

Cancel Call Forward All on
your primary line

Verify that Call Forward All is
enabled on your primary line

Set up or cancel call
forwarding remotely, or for a
non-primary line

Press CFwdALL and enter a target phone number.

Note

Press CFwdALL.

Look for:

• The call forward icon next to the primary phone number: ,

• The call forward target number in the status line.

Note

Your phone may have additional line keys assigned to the same
directory number as your primary line. If so (and you want all
calls to that directory number forwarded) you need to set call
forwarding for each of these lines.

which is always on line key 1.

1. Log in to your User Options web pages. (See Accessing Your

User Options Web Pages, page 67.)

2. Access your call forwarding settings. (See Controlling Line

Settings on the Web, page 74.)

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.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5(1) (SCCP and SIP) 29

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 may 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.

• Your phone may reject your attempt to set up Call Forward All directly on the phone if the target
number that you enter would create a call forwarding loop or would exceed the maximum number
of links permitted in a call forwarding chain.

• When you switch an in-progress call from your mobile phone to Cisco Unified devices that share
the same line (Session Handoff), the Call Forward feature is disabled on the Cisco Unified devices.
The Call Forward feature returns when the call ends.

Using Do Not Disturb

You can use the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature to turn off only the ringer on your phone or to turn
off all audible and visual notifications of incoming calls. 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.

DND interaction with other types of calls includes:

• DND does not affect intercom calls or non-intercom priority calls.

• If both DND and auto-answer are enabled, only intercom calls will be auto-answered.

• When you switch an in-progress call from your mobile phone to Cisco Unified devices that share

the same line (Session Handoff), the DND feature is disabled on the Cisco Unified devices. The
DND feature returns when the call ends.

If you want to... Then...

Turn on DND Press DND.

“Do Not Disturb” displays on the phone, the DND lights (solid), and the
ring tone is turned off.

Placing or Receiving Intercom Calls

You can make 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 your 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 converse with the caller.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5(1) (SCCP and SIP) 35

When using the intercom feature, be aware of the following:

• From an intercom line, you can only dial other intercom lines.

• You can use only one intercom line at a time.

• When your active call is being monitored or recorded, you can receive or place intercom calls.

• You cannot place an intercom call on hold.

Note If you log into the same phone on a daily basis using your Cisco Extension Mobility profile,

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 (Unified CM) system (for example, a
phone at a coworker’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—Press the Tr a nsf e r softkey during a call. To store the call, dial the Directed
Call Park number and press Tran sfe r again.

• Assisted Directed Call Park—Use the Assisted Directed Call Park button displaying an idle line
status indicator. To retrieve the call from any other Cisco Unified IP Phone in your network, press
the flashing Assisted Direct Call Park button.

See your system administrator for details.

• Your system administrator can assign Directed Call Park buttons to available line buttons on

your phone.

• 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 may be a member of a hunt group,
which 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.

If you want to... Then...

Log out of hunt groups to block
hunt group calls temporarily

Using a Shared Line

Your system administrator may 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 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
line. This information may include caller ID and call duration (See Privacy, page 42 for exceptions).

If you are sharing a line with coworkers using a different model Cisco Unified IP Phone, they might be
able to add (or barge) themselves to your active call on the shared line. Your phone does not typically
support this feature. If you need it, contact your system administrator for assistance. Otherwise, enable
privacy to prevent coworkers from joining your calls.

Privacy

If you do not want coworkers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable the
Privacy feature. Doing this also prevents others who share the line from viewing or barging your calls.

Working with Shared Lines

You can view information about calls on your shared lines, retrieve a call on a shared line placed on
hold by a coworker, and prevent others from barging calls.

If you want to... Then...

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 cannot view or barge calls on any of your
shared lines.

Using BLF to Determine a Line State

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) features allow you to view the state of a phone line that is associated with a
speed-dial button, call log, or directory listing on your phone. If you use BLF Pickup, you can answer
a ringing call for the line that you are monitoring. Your system administrator determines which BLF
features are configured for your phone.

If you want to... Then...

a coworker’s phone

While the line is ringing, press the BLF Pickup button .

The call is redirected to the next available line on your phone. (If you want
to specify a line, first press a line button and then press the BLF button.)

If your phone supports auto-pickup, the call connects automatically.
Otherwise, the call rings on your phone for you to answer.

If you press the BLF Pickup button when the monitored line is not ringing,
your phone will speed dial the line number.

Tips

• Your phone may play an audible indicator to alert you when a call is ringing on the monitored line
(BLF Pickup only).

• BLF Pickup answers the oldest ringing call first (if the line that you are monitoring has more than
one ringing call).

Making and Receiving Secure Calls

Depending on how your system administrator configured your phone system, your phone may support
making and receiving secure calls.

Your phone can support these types of calls:

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

• Encrypted call—The phone is receiving and transmitting encrypted audio (your conversation)

within the Unified CM network. Encrypted calls are authenticated.

• Protected call—The phone is a secure (encrypted and trusted) device on the Unified CM server and
is configured as a “Protected Device” in Unified CM Administration.

If “Play Secure Indication Tone” is enabled (True) in Unified CM Administration, the protected
phone plays a secure or nonsecure indication tone at the beginning of the call:

–

When end-to-end secure media is established through the Secure Real-Time Transfer Protocol
(SRTP) and the call status is secure, the phone plays the secure indication tone (three long
beeps with brief pauses).

44 OL-22334-01

Advanced Call Handling

–

When end-to-end nonsecure media is established through the Real-Time Protocol (RTP) and
the call status is nonsecure, the phone plays the nonsecure indication tone (six short beeps
with brief pauses). (This capability is a change with this release.)

If the Play Secure Indication Tone option is disabled (False), no tone is played.

• Nonprotected call—The phone does not have a “Protected Device” status in Unified CM. No

secure or nonsecure indication tone is played.

• Nonsecure call—The phone is not protected on the Unified CM server and the call status is

nonsecure.

For more information, see your system administrator.

If you want to... Then...

Check the security level of a call
or conference

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

Authenticated call or conference

Encrypted call or conference

Non-secure call or conference

Verify that the phone connection
(call status) is secure.

Listen for a secure indication tone at the beginning of the call:

• Secure call status—If the phone is protected, the “Play
Secure Indication Tone” is enabled, and the call status is
secure, a secure indication tone plays on the protected
phone at the beginning of a call (three long beeps with
pauses). The lock icon is also present to indicate that the
call is secure.

• Nonsecure call status—If the phone is protected, the “Play
Secure Indication Tone” is enabled, and the call status is
nonsecure, a nonsecure indication tone plays on the
protected phone at the beginning of a call (six short beeps
with brief pauses). The play arrow icon is also present to
indicate that the call is not secure.

For more information, see your system administrator.

made in your company

Note There are interactions, restrictions, and limitations that affect how security features work on

your phone. For more information, ask your system administrator.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5(1) (SCCP and SIP) 45

Note A device engaged in a call is either trusted or untrusted as determined by Cisco. Lock or shield

icons are not displayed on a Cisco Unified IP Phone screen when a call is to or from an
untrusted device, even though the call may be secure.

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...

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 Calls

In some specialized environments, such as military or government offices, you may 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.

If you... Then...

Want to choose a priority (precedence)

46 OL-22334-01

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

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

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

Advanced Call Handling

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).

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.

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.

• Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) overrides the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature.

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

• An MLPP-enabled call retains its priority and preemptive status when you:

–

Put the call on hold

–

Transfer the call

–

Add the call to a three-way conference

–

Answer the call using PickUp

Using Cisco Extension Mobility

Cisco Extension Mobility (EM) allows you to configure a Cisco Unified IP Phone as your own
temporarily. 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.

The Extension Mobility Change PIN feature allows you to change your PIN from your Cisco Unified
IP Phone.

Understanding Additional Configuration Options

Your system administrator can configure your phone to use specific button and softkey templates
along with special services and features, if appropriate. This table provides an overview of some
configuration options that you may want to discuss with your phone system administrator based on
your calling needs or work environment.

Note You can locate Phone Guides and other documents listed in this table on the web:

If you... Then... For more information...

Need more than one
phone line

Need more speed-dial
buttons

Want to use one
extension for several
phones

Ask your system administrator to
configure one or more additional
directory numbers for you.

First make sure that you are using all
of your currently available speed-dial
buttons.

If you need additional speed-dial
buttons, try using Abbreviated Dialing
or subscribing to the Fast Dial service.

Request a shared line. This allows you
to use one extension for your desk
phone and lab phone, for example.

Talk to your system administrator
or phone support team.

See Speed Dialing, page 37.

See Using a Shared Line, page 42.

Troubleshooting Your Phone

This section provides troubleshooting information for your Cisco Unified IP Phone.

General Troubleshooting

This section provides information to help you troubleshoot general problems with your phone. For
more information, see your system administrator.

Symptom Explanation

You cannot hear a dial
tone or complete a call

Settings is unavailable
in the Application
menu.

The softkey that you
want to use does not
appear

Cisco CallBack fails The other party may have call forwarding enabled.

The phone shows an
error message when
you attempt to set up
Call Forward All

One or more of the following factors may apply:

• You must log into the Extension Mobility service.

• You must enter a client matter code (CMC) or forced authorization

code (FAC) after dialing a number.

• Your phone has time-of-day restrictions that prevent you from using

some features during certain hours of the day.

Your system administrator may have disabled Settings on your phone.

One or more of the following factors may apply:

• 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.

Your phone may reject your attempt to set up Call Forward All directly on
the phone if the target number that you enter would create a Call Forward
All loop or would exceed the maximum number of links permitted in a Call
Forward All chain (also known as a maximum hop count). Ask your system
administrator for details.
