Phone Installation Overview

Your system administrator configures your new Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone to connect to the corporate wireless network and the IP telephony network.

A rechargeable Lithium ion battery powers the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone. Before you can use your phone, you must install the battery in the phone and charge the battery. Depending on the type of battery you have, the fully charged battery provides the following hours of service:

The standard battery provides up to 9.5 hours of talk time or up to 180 hours of standby time.

•

The extended battery provides up to 13 hours of talk time or up to 240 hours of standby time.

•

Note

Using a Bluetooth wireless headset reduces the talk time and standby time for both types of batteries. In addition, how the system administrator configures your phone also affects its battery life. For more information, contact your system administrator.

Charge Battery with AC Power Supply

You can charge your battery quickly by connecting the AC power supply to the phone. To accommodate different AC power receptacles, you must insert the appropriate AC plug adapter on the AC power supply.

You can use the phone while the battery is being charged. After the battery is charged, you can unplug the power supply cord, or you can leave the phone plugged into the power cord.

Note

Depending on configuration, your phone may automatically power off when it is connected to an AC power source. AC power sources include the power supply, desktop charger, or multicharger. If the phone is in use (during a call or is using an XML phone service) when it is connected to the AC power source, it powers off after the call or phone service terminates.

For more information, ask your system administrator.

To charge the battery in the phone using the AC power supply, the following figure shows the steps.

Warning

Use CSA or ATEX qualified accessories with the Cisco Unified IP Wireless Phone 7925G-EX in hazardous environments.

For a complete list and description of accessories, see the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G Accessory Guide.

For more information about the phone and the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Desktop Charger, see

Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Desktop Charger.

Headset Information

To use a headset, see Handset, Headset, and Speakerphone. Although Cisco performs some internal testing of third-party wired and Bluetooth wireless headsets for use with the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G, 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.

Cisco 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

External Devices Usage for more information.

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, electric motors, 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 Cisco Unified IP Phone users.

Bluetooth Wireless Headsets Notes

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.

Audio Quality

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, but some of the headsets on the sites listed below have been reported to perform well on Cisco Unified IP Phones.

Nevertheless, it is ultimately the customer's responsibility to test this equipment in their own environment to determine suitable performance.

For information about wired and Bluetooth wireless headsets for your phone, see the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G Accessory Guide and these web sites:
