Power Save and Power Save Plus
Getting Started
There are two levels of energy-saving modes that your system administrator can set up:

Power Save

Depending on how your system administrator set up your phone, the phone display may go into a power-save mode (the phone screen appears blank and the Select button is lit white).
To turn on the phone display, press any button or pick up the handset.

Power Save Plus

Your phone supports the Cisco EnergyWise (EW) program, also known as Power Save Plus. Your system administrator sets up sleep (power down) and wake (power up) times for your phone to save energy. If your phone goes into the Power Save Plus mode, the Select button is lit white.
Ten minutes before the scheduled sleep time, the Select button lights up and you receive a message that your phone will power off at a specific time. If enabled by your system administrator, you also hear your ringtone play. The ringtone plays according to the following schedule:
Power Save: The phone display goes blank when not in use for a period of time, reducing the power
requirements.
Power Save Plus: The phone display goes blank, turning the phone off and on at predetermined times.
The power to the phone is significantly reduced.
At 10 minutes before power off, the ringtone plays four times
At 7 minutes before power off, the ringtone plays four times
At 4 minutes before power off, the ringtone plays four times
At 30 seconds before power off, the ring tone plays 15 times or until the phone powers off

Getting Started
If your phone is inactive (idle) at the sleep time, you see a message to remind you that your phone is about to power down. To keep the phone active, you need to press OK in the message or any key on the phone. If you do not press the button or any key, your phone powers down.
If your phone is active (for example, on a call), your phone waits until it has been inactive for a period of time before telling you of the pending power shutdown. Before the shutdown happens, you see a message to remind you that your phone is about to power off.
After your phone goes to sleep, press Select to wake up your phone. After the phone is inactive for a period of time, a message displays to alert you that the phone is about to power down. At the configured wake time, your phone powers up.
Wake and sleep times are also linked to the configured days that you normally work. If your requirements change (for example, your work hours or work days change), contact your system administrator to have your phone reconfigured.
For more information about EnergyWise and your phone, contact your system administrator.

Call forward is phone-line specific. If a call reaches you on a line where call forwarding is not enabled, the call rings as usual.
Your system administrator can set up other call-forward options:
Allow calls placed from the call forward target number to your phone to ring through, rather than
be forwarded.
Prevent you from creating a call-forward loop or exceeding the maximum number of links in a
call forwarding chain.

Call Park

Call Park
Call Park allows you to use your phone to park (temporarily store) a call, which you can then retrieve from another phone (such as a phone at a coworkers desk or in a conference room).
There are two ways you can park a call:
Park
Allows you to park an active call that you answered on your phone, and retrieve it using another phone in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system.
Directed Call Park
Allows you to park and retrieve an active call in two different ways:
Assisted Directed Call Park: Allows you to park an active call using a feature button, which your
system administrator sets up as a speed-dial line.
With this type of directed call, you can monitor the status of the line (in-use or idle) using Line Status indicators.
Manual Directed Call Park: Allows you to park an active call by transferring it to a Directed Call
number, which your system administrator sets up.
You retrieve the call at another phone by dialing a park retrieval prefix number (provided by your system administrator) and then dialing the Directed Call number you used to park the call.
Your system administrator sets up either the Directed Call Park or the Park feature on your phone, but not both.

If set up by your administrator, you see icons beside each Call History entry. The icon shows the status (Unknown, Idle, Busy, or DND) of the person who made the call.
For each call record or call group, an icon to the left of the caller ID shows the call type:

Custom Line Filters
Custom Line Filters enable you to reduce alert activity by filtering it to high-priority lines by allowing you to set the alerting call notification priority on a subset of lines covered by an alert filter. The custom filter generates either traditional pop-up alerts or actionable alerts for incoming calls on the selected lines. For each filter, only the subset of lines under coverage will generate an alert. If a filter is turned off, lines under its coverage will not show alert notifications.
If this feature has been configured, there are three, selectable, filter types available to you:
All Calls (on all lines)
Daily schedule
Custom user
The administrator configures the default line filter, which is visible to you as the Daily schedule filter. Even if the administrator has not configured the default filter, the all calls filter and custom filter options are available to you. If you have not created any custom filters all provisioned lines are covered by the default line filter if it exists, or all calls if it does not.
You cannot edit either the All Calls filter or the Daily schedule filter, but you can use the Daily schedule filter as a template for a new, custom filter by duplicating and then editing the duplicate filter.
