Phone Display Viewing Angle
The viewing angle of the phone display can be adjusted according to your preference.
Change Display Viewing Angle
Hold the handset and cradle with your left hand, hold the right side of the bezel (to the right of the
display) with your right hand, and then move your hands back and forth in opposite directions to
adjust the angle. (The Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 is shown for illustrative purposes.)
Buttons and Hardware
Your phone provides quick access to your phone lines, features, and call sessions:
• Use the feature buttons (on the left) to view calls on a line or access features such as speed dial or
All Calls.
• Use the call session buttons (on the right) to perform tasks such as making a call, answering a call,
or resuming a held call. Each call on your phone is associated with a session button.

answers the call, while pressing the session button for a held call
resumes the call.
Color LEDs reflect the call state. LEDs can flash (blink on and off
rapidly), pulse (alternately dim and brighten), or appear solid (glow
without interruption).
• Flashing amber —Ringing call. Pressing this button answers
the call.
• Solid green —May be a connected call or an outgoing call
that is not yet connected. If the call is connected, pressing this

call. If the call is not yet connected, pressing this button ends
the call.
• Pulsing green —Held call. Pressing this button resumes the
held call.
• Solid red —Shared line in-use remotely. Pressing this button
allows you to barge in on the call (if Barge is enabled).

this button resumes the held call.
Icons next to the session buttons indicate an action for that session. For
example, pressing the session button with a Missed Calls icon displays
your missed calls, and pressing the session button with a Voicemail
icon accesses your voice messaging system.
(The position of the session buttons can be reversed with the position
of the programmable feature buttons on phones that use a locale with
a right-to-left reading orientation, such as Hebrew and Arabic.)
