Self Care Portal
You can customize some phone settings with the Self Care portal web site, which you access from your computer. Your administrator gives you the Self Care portal URL, your user ID, and password.
In the Self Care portal, you can control features, line settings, and phone services for your phone.
Phone features include speed dial, do not disturb, and your personal address book.
Line settings affect a specific phone line (directory number) on your phone. Line settings can include
call forwarding, visual and audio message indicators, ring patterns, and other line-specific settings.
Phone services can include special phone features, network data, and web-based information (such as
stock quotes and movie listings). You must subscribe to a phone service using the Self Care portal before you access it on your phone.
The following table describes some specific features that you configure using the Self Care portal. For more information, see the Self Care portal documentation for your call control system.
DescriptionFeatures
Call forward
Additional phones
Speed dial
You specify the number that will receive calls when call forward is enabled on the phone. You can use the Self Care portal to set up more complicated call forward functions, for example, when your line is busy.
You specify additional phones (your mobile and other phones) that you want to use to make and receive calls with the same directory numbers as your desk phone. You can also define blocked and preferred contacts to restrict or allow calls from certain numbers to be sent to your mobile phone. When you set up additional phones, you can also set up the following features:

Speed-Dial Numbers

Speed-Dial Numbers
When you dial a number on your phone, you enter a series of digits. When you set up a speed-dial number, the speed-dial number must contain all the digits you need to make the call. For example, if you need to dial 9 to get an outside line, you put the number 9 and then the number you want to dial.
You can also add other dialed digits to the number. Examples of additional digits include a meeting access code, an extension, a voicemail password, an authorization code, and a billing code.
The dial string can contain the following characters:
0 to 9
pound (#)
asterisk (*)
comma (,)This is the pause character, and gives a 2- second delay in the dialing. You can have several
commas in a row. For example, two commas (,,) represent a pause of 4 seconds.
Your Phone
Note
The rules for dial strings are:
Use the comma to separate the parts of the dial string.
An authorization code must always precede a billing code in the speed-dial string.
One comma is required between the authorization code and the billing code in the string.
A speed-dial label is required for speed dials with authorization codes and additional digits.
Before you configure the speed dial, try to dial the digits manually at least once to ensure that the digit sequence is correct.
Your phone does not save the authorization code, billing code, or extra digits from the speed dial in the call history. If you press Redial after connecting to a destination using speed dial, the phone prompts you to enter any required authorization code, billing code, or additional digits manually.
Example
To set up a speed-dial number to call a person at a specific extension, and if you need an authorization code and billing code, consider the following requirements:
You need to dial 9 for an outside line.
You want to call 5556543.
You need to input the authorization code 1234.
You need to input the billing code 9876.
You must wait for 4 seconds.
After the call is connected, you must dial the extension 56789#.
In this scenario, the speed dial number is 95556543,1234,9876,,56789#.

At the top of the screen is the header row. The header row displays the phone number, current date and time, as well a number of icons. The icons display when features are active.
The middle of the phone screen displays the home screen with its application (app) icons. When you select an app, the information for the app displays on the screen.
The bottom row of the screen is the softkey labels. Each label indicates the action for the softkey button below the screen.
Clean the Phone Screen
Procedure
Wipe the screen with a soft, dry cloth.

Differences Between Phone Calls and Lines

We use the terms lines and calls in very specific ways to explain how to use your phone. Here is an explanation of the differences.
Lines
Each line corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call you. Your
phone supports up to six lines. To see your phone lines, press Phone to open the line view. You
have as many lines as you have directory numbers with phone line icons in the line view list.
Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 and 8821EX User Guide
11

Out-of-Range Alerts

Calls
Each line can support multiple calls, typically up to four calls. Your phone can support up to 24 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.
Here is an example: If you have two lines and each line supports four calls, then you could have up to eight connected calls at one time. Only one of those calls is active and the other seven are held calls.
Out-of-Range Alerts
Your system administrator can configure your phone to send you an audible alert (beep) when you are out of
range of the wireless network. When you hear the alert, the (no signal) icon displays on the phone screen.
When you are out of range of the wireless network, you cannot use the phone for features requiring a wireless network connection, such as making and receiving calls.
If your system administrator enabled the out-of-range alert, depending on the configuration, you might hear a beep only once, or every 10, 30, or 60 seconds until you are back within range of the wireless network.
To reconnect to the wireless network after you hear the alert, move to another location until you see the signal
Your Phone
icon on the phone screen again.

Phone Batteries

Your phone contains a Lithium ion battery. The fully charged battery provides the following hours of service:
up to 13 hours of talk time.
up to 200 hours of standby time
Note
If you use a Bluetooth wireless headset, the headset reduces the talk time and standby time for the battery. In addition, how the administrator configures your phone can affect the battery life.
If you require longer talk times, you will find it useful to have a spare, charged battery.

Bluetooth and Your Phone

You can use a Bluetooth headset with your phone.
Bluetooth connections work best when you're within 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) from your phone, but you might be able to be as far away as 66 feet (20 meters). The Bluetooth connection can degrade if you have a barrier (wall, door, window), large metal object, or other electronic devices between your phone and the connected device.
To connect a headset to your phone with Bluetooth, you start by pairing the headset with your phone. You can pair up to x Bluetooth headsets with the phone. After the headset is paired, the phone connects to the headset when the headset is turned on. The last Bluetooth headset connected with the phone is the headset that the phone uses.

Prioritized Calls

In your job, you might need to handle urgent or critical situations using your phone. You can identify calls as being very important, and thus have a higher priority than normal calls. The priorities range from level 1 (low) to level 5 (high). This system of priorities is called Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP).
Your administrator sets up the priorities that you can use and determines if you need special sign-in information.
When a high-priority call rings on your phone, you see the priority level on the phone screen. If you are on a call when a high-priority call comes to your phone, the high-priority call preempts the current call and you hear a special preemption ringtone. You should hang up from your current call to answer the high-priority call.
When you are on a high-priority call, the priority of the call does not change when you:

Multiple Lines
If you share phone numbers with other people, you could have multiple lines on your phone. When you have multiple lines, you have more calling features available to you.

Shared Lines

You can share the same phone number with one or more of your coworkers. For example, as an administrative assistant, you might be responsible for screening calls for the person that you support.
When you share a phone number, you can use that phone line just like you would any other line, but you should be aware of a few special characteristics about shared lines:
The shared phone number appears on all phones that share the number.
If your coworker answers a call on the shared line, the shared line icon displays in red on your phone.
If you put a call on hold, your shared line icon is white. But your coworker sees the line in red.
Add Yourself to a Call on a Shared Line (Barge)
You or your coworker can join a call on the shared line.

Although Cisco performs some internal testing of third-party wired and Bluetooth wireless headsets for use with the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 and 8821EX, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where phones are deployed, there is not a single bestsolution that is optimal for all environments. We recommend that customers test the headsets that work best in their environment before deploying a large number of units in their network.
Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 and 8821EX User Guide
71

Standard Headsets

We recommend 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.
The primary reason that a particular headset would be inappropriate for the 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 phone user. Some potential humming or buzzing sounds can be caused by a range of outside sources, for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors. 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 phone users.

Standard Headsets
You can use a wired headset with your phone. The headset requires a 2.5 mm, 3-band, 4-connector plug.
If you plug a headset into the phone during an active call, the audio path automatically changes to the headset.
Accessories

Bluetooth Headsets

You can use a Bluetooth headset with your phone.
Using Bluetooth wireless headsets likely increases battery power consumption on your phone and may result in reducing battery life.
For a Bluetooth wireless headset to work, it does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the phone, but some barriers, such as walls or doors, and interference from other electronic devices, can affect the connection.
