Warning
Warning
Warning
Caution Only use the Cisco-specified power supply with this product.
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).
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.
The power supply must be placed indoors.
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.

Getting Started
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 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].

Adjusting the Footstand
To change the angle that the phone base, adjust the footstand while pressing the footstand button.
Adjusting the Handset Rest
Cisco recommends adjusting the handset rest, particularly when wall-mounting the phone, as this will 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.

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.
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. See the “Using External Devices” section on page 11 for more information.
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G for Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0 (SIP) 13
The primary reason that a particular headset would be inappropriate for the Cisco Unified IP Phone is the potential for an audible hum. This hum can be heard by either 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. See the “Using an External Power Supply” section on page 10 for more information.
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 on 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.

An Overview of Your Phone

An Overview of Your Phone
Your Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G or 7940G is a full-feature telephone that provides voice communication over the same data network that your computer uses, allowing you to place and receive phone calls, put calls on hold, speed dial numbers, transfer calls, make conference calls, and so on. In addition to basic call-handling features, your phone supports specialized or advanced telephony features that can extend your call-handling capabilities.
Depending on configuration, your phone supports:
Access to network data and services.
Online customizing of phone features and services from your User Options web pages.
An online help system that displays information on your phone.

Understanding Lines vs. Calls

To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:
Lines—Each corresponds to a directory number that others can use to call you.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G (SIP) support up to two lines per call.
Calls —Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports four connected calls
per line, 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 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.
