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.

2 OL-19613-01

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 headsets that are fully compliant with the

EMC Directive [89/336/EC].

Connecting Your Phone

Adjusting the Footstand

To change the angle of 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 readily 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.

Slide the tab back into the handset rest. An extension protrudes from the top of the rotated tab.

Return the handset to the handset rest.

Registering with TAPS

After your phone is connected to the network, your system administrator might ask you to auto-register your phone using TAPS (Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support). TAPS might be used 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 might need to enter your entire extension, including the area code. After your phone displays a confirmation message, hang up. The phone will re-start.

Using a Headset

You can use a wired headset, or you can use a wireless headset in conjunction with the wireless headset remote hookswitch control feature.

Headset Support

Although Cisco Systems performs limited internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the

Unified IP Phones, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset (or handset) vendors.

Cisco

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(2) (SCCP and SIP)

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 may 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.

Using External Devices, page 3 for more information.

See

Note In some cases, hum may 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 there is not a single headset solution that 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 manufacturer’s sites for details.

For information about wireless headsets that work in conjunction with the wireless headset remote hookswitch control feature, got to the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/ctdp/Search.pl

1. Choose IP Communications from the Enter Solution drop-down list box. The Select a Solution Category drop-down list box displays.

2. Choose IP Phone Headsets to see a list of Technology Development Program partners.

If you want to search for a particular Technology Development Program partner, enter the partner’s name in the Enter Company Name box.

Press EndCall. If necessary, remove the call from hold first.

Using Hold and Resume

You can hold and resume calls. When you put a call on hold, the Hold icon appears on the right in the call information area and the corresponding line button flashes green . With a shared line, when you place a call on hold, the line button flashes green and the phone displays the hold icon. When another phone places a call on hold, the line button flashes red hold icon .

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 flashing amber line button (depending on the line state).

If you want to... Then...

• If a non-reverting held call is the only call on the line, it will resume.

2. If necessary, scroll to the appropriate call and press Resume.

and the phone displays the remote

Tips

• Engaging the Hold feature typically generates music or a beeping tone.

• If you receive an alert for an incoming call and a reverting call at the same time, by default your

phone will shift the focus of the phone screen to display the incoming call. Your system administrator can change this focus priority setting.

• If you use a shared line, Hold Reversion rings only on the phone that put the call on hold, not on the other phones that share the line.

22 OL-19613-01

• The duration between Hold Reversion alerts is determined by your system administrator.

Note If you want to stay on the line with the callers, use Join instead.

Press iDivert. For more information, see Sending a Call to a Voice

Message System, page 26.

Tips

• If your phone has on-hook transfer enabled, complete the call by hanging up.

• If on-hook transfer is not enabled on your phone, hanging up without pressing Tr ansfer again

places the call on hold.

• You cannot use Trans fer to redirect a call on hold. Press Resume to remove the call from hold before transferring it.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(2) (SCCP and SIP)

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 the voice message system of the original called party. Choose an option to redirect the call.

Tip

If your phone displays a menu that disappears before you make your selection, you can press iDivert again to re-display the menu. You can also ask your system administrator to configure a longer timeout value.

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 might 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 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.

26 OL-19613-01

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 or Forward All and enter a target phone number.

Press CFwdALL or Forward All.

Look for:

• The call forward icon above your primary phone number: .

• The call forwarding target number in the status line.

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

User Options Web Pages, page 61.)

2. Access your call forwarding settings (See Controlling Line

Settings on the Web, page 68.)

Note When call forwarding is enabled for any line other than the

Basic Call Handling

primary line, your phone does not provide you with any confirmation that calls are being forwarded. Instead, you must confirm your settings in the User Options web pages.

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 might 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.

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.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(2) (SCCP and SIP)

When DND and Call Forward All 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.

If you want to... Then...

Turn on DND Press DND or Do Not Disturb .

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

Turn off DND Press DND or Do Not Disturb .

Customize DND settings If your system administrator configured DND settings to appear

on the User Options page, follow these steps:

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

User Options Web Pages, page 61.

2. From the drop-down menu, choose User Options > Device.

3. Set the following options:

–

Do Not Disturb—Set to enable/disable DND.

–

DND Option—Choose either Call Reject (to turn off all audible and visual notifications) or Ringer Off (to turn off only the ringer).

–

DND Incoming Call Alert (applies to either DND option set)—Set the alert to beep only, flash only, disable the alert, or choose “None” (to use the “Alert” setting configured by your system administrator).

Tips

• When DND is active, DND blocking is applied to all the lines on your phone.

• When DND and Call Forward All are both enabled on your phone, Call Forward All takes

precedence on incoming calls. That is, calls will be forwarded and the caller will not hear a busy tone.

• Intercom and Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP), park reversion and hold reversion all override DND.

• Your system administrator enables the DND feature on your phone.

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 that is 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 use either the handset, headset or speaker. The intercom call becomes a two-way connection so that you can converse with the caller.

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 cannot receive or place intercom calls.

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 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—Use the Trans fe r softkey to direct the call to an available directed call park number that you dial or speed dial. To retrieve the call from a directed call park number, dial the park retrieval prefix, then dial or speed dial the same directed call park number. You can use a Directed Call Park button to speed dial the directed call park number and to monitor whether a directed call park number is occupied or available.

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

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G that has a Cisco Unified IP Phone Expansion Module (the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7942G does not support the Cisco Unified IP Phone Expansion Module).

• You can dial directed call park numbers if you do not have Directed Call Park buttons. 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 might be a member of a hunt group. A hunt group 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 temporarily block hunt group calls

Press HLog or Hunt Group. Your phone screen displays, “Logged

out of Hunt Group.”

Press HLog or Hunt Group. When logged in, the Hunt Group button

is lit.

Tip

Logging out of hunt groups does not prevent non-hunt group calls from ringing your phone.

Using a Shared Line

Your system administrator might 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.

Advanced Call Handling

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 might include caller ID and call duration. (See the exceptions.)

When call information is visible in this way, you and coworkers who share a line can add yourselves to calls using either Barge or cBarge. See

Using Barge to Add Yourself to a Shared-Line Call, page 39.

Privacy section for

Privacy

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

Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call, page 41.

Note The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone.

Preventing Others from

Using Barge to Add Yourself to a Shared-Line Call

You can use barge features (cBarge or Barge) to add yourself to calls on your shared line. (Calls must be non-private calls. See

Understanding Shared Lines, page 38.)

Understanding Barge Features

cBarge and Barge

Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a non-private call on a shared line using either cBarge or Barge:

• cBarge converts the call into a standard conference, allowing you to add new participants. (See

Making Conference Calls, page 29 for information about standard conferences.)

• Barge allows you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow

you to add new participants.

Single-button and Multi-touch Barge

Your system administrator determines whether the barge feature on your phone (cBarge or Barge) operates as a single-button or multi-touch feature.

• Single button barge allows you to press a line button to barge a call (if only one call is on the line).

• Multi-touch barge allows you to view call information before barging.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(2) (SCCP and SIP)

Using Barge Features

Add yourself to a call on a shared line

View conference participants (if you used cBarge)

Tips

• When you barge a call, other parties might hear a beep tone announcing your presence. With cBarge, other parties hear a brief audio interruption and the phone screen changes to display conference details.

• When you leave a call that you have barged, other parties hear a beep-beep tone.

• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys

will not appear on the other phones that share the line.

• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy disabled and it is configured with Private Line Automated Ringdown (PLAR), the barge and cBarge features will still be available.

• You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold, transferred, or turned into a conference call.

Look for the remote-in-use icon next to a red line button .

Press the red line button for the shared line.

One of the following occurs:

• You are added to the call.

• A window opens on your phone screen prompting you to select the call

that you want to barge. Press Barge or cBarge to complete the action. (You may need to press the more softkey to display Barge or cBarge.)

Using BLF to Determine a Line State

Busy Lamp Field features (BLF) 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...

See the state of a line listed in a call log or directory

Look for one of these indicators next to the line number:

Line is in-use.

Line is idle.

BLF indicator unavailable for this line.

Line is in Do Not Disturb state.

See the state of a speed-dial line

Use BLF Pickup to answer a call ringing on a coworker’s phone

Look for one of these indicators next to the line number:

+ Line is in-use.

+ Line is idle.

BLF indicator unavailable for this line.

+ Line is in Do Not Disturb state.

+ (flashing)—Line is ringing (BLF Pickup only).

Press the BLF Pickup button while the line is ringing.

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

Note 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 might 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).

Advanced Call Handling

Making and Receiving Secure Calls

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

Your phone is capable of supporting these types of calls:

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

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

within the Cisco IP network. Encrypted calls are also authenticated.

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

another phone. A protected call provides a similar level of security as an encrypted call, but adds additional security. If the call is protected at both ends, a security tone plays at the beginning of the conversation. Some features, such as conference calling, shared lines, Extension Mobility, and join across lines are not available when protected calling is configured. Protected calls are not authenticated.

• Non-secure call—At least one of the participating phones or the connection does not support these

security features, or the phones cannot be verified.

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 on the other end of the connection is also secure

Determine if secure calls can be made in your company

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(2) (SCCP and SIP)

Look for the encrypted lock icon and listen for a security tone at the beginning of the call.

When encrypted calling is configured on your phone, the lock icon is displayed. However, the conversation is protected only when the security tone plays at the beginning of a call, indicating that the call is protected on both ends of the call. If your call is connected to a non-protected phone, the secure tone is not played.

Contact your system administrator.

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

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

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 or Malicious Call ID.

Your phone plays a tone and displays the message, “MCID successful”.

Prioritizing Critical Calls

(SCCP phones only.)

In some specialized environments, such as military or government offices, you might 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) level for an outgoing call

Want to make a priority (precedence) call

Hear a special ring (faster than usual) or special call waiting tone

44 OL-19613-01

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

If you... Then...

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).

Want to accept a higher-priority call Answer the call as usual. If necessary, end an active call first.

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.

• 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

• MLPP overrides the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature.

Using Cisco Extension Mobility

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

If you want to... Then...

2. Enter your user ID and PIN (provided by your system administrator).

3. If prompted, select a device profile.

Log out of EM 1. Choose > EM Service (name can vary).

2. When prompted to log out, press Yes.

Tips

• EM automatically logs you out after a certain amount of time. Your system administrator establishes this time limit.

• Changes that you make to your EM profile from your User Options web pages take effect immediately if you are logged in to EM on the phone; otherwise, changes take effect the next time you log in.

• Changes that you make to the phone from your User Options web pages take effect immediately if you are logged out of EM; otherwise, changes take effect after you log out.

• Local settings controlled by the phone are not maintained in your EM profile.

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

The Settings button is unresponsive

The softkey that you want to use does not appear

Barge fails and results in a fast busy tone

You are disconnected from a call that you joined using Barge

CallBack fails The other party might 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 might 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. (SCCP phones only)

• Your phone has time-of-day restrictions that prevent you from using some features during certain hours of the day.

Your system administrator might have disabled on your phone.

One or more of the following factors might 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.

You cannot barge an encrypted call if the phone you are using is not configured for encryption. When your barge attempt fails for this reason, your phone plays a fast busy tone.

You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold, transferred, or turned into a conference call.

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 maximum hop count). Ask your system administrator for details.
