More Information about Customizing Your Phone on the Web

Your Cisco Unified IP Phone is a network device that can share information with other network devices in your company, including your computer. You can use your Cisco web pages to establish and customize phone services and to control phone features and settings from your computer. This guide provides a brief overview of these capabilities. For complete instructions, refer to Customizing Your Cisco Unified IP Phone on the Web at the following URL:

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

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.

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

Cisco Unified IP Video Phone 7985G Phone Guide 3

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

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.

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 In European Union countries, use only external headsets that are fully compliant with the

EMC Directive [89/336/EC].
