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.
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.
10OL-15791-01
Page 11
CautionIn European Union countries, use only external speakers, microphones, and headsets that
are fully compliant with the EMC Directive [89/336/EC].

Connecting Your Phone
Adjusting the Handset Rest
When you connect your phone, you might want to adjust the handset rest to ensure that the receiver
will not slip out of the cradle. See the table below for instructions.
123
77354
Set the handset aside and pull the square plastic tab from the handset rest.
1
Rotate the tab 180 degrees.
2
Slide the tab back into the handset rest. An extension protrudes from the top of the rotated tab.
3
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
either 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.
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 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 10 for more information.
See
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.013
Page 14
NoteIn 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

Understanding Lines and Calls
To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:
• Lines—There are 24 programmable buttons (see Understanding Buttons and Hardware, page 15).
Typically, your system administrator assigns some of these lines (up to 24) to be used as lines for
making and receiving calls. Each corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that
others can use to call you.
Some of your lines might share the same directory number, and others might have unique directory
numbers. To see your phone lines, use the Navigation button to scroll through the list of
programmable button display (see
Buttons configured as lines display their assigned directory number and associated button number.
For example, if you have directory number “3105” assigned to button 1, the line appears as
3105:01 on the phone screen. Each line also has an associated icon to help you identify its purpose
Understanding Line and Call Icons, page 20).
(see
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.019
Understanding Phone Screen Features, page 21).
Page 20
• Calls—Each line can support a single call. If multiple lines share a directory number, each line can
still support one call each.
Understanding Line and Call Icons
Your phone displays icons to help you determine the line and call state and feature accessibility on
each line.

Using Hold and Resume
You can hold and resume calls. When you put a call on hold, the Hold icon appears next to the
line display on the phone screen, and the corresponding line button flashes green .
If another user put a shared line on hold, its associated line button displays (flashing). You (and
anyone else sharing that line) can resume the call.
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 line button (flashing, depending on the line state).
If you want to...Then...
Put a call on hold1. Make sure the appropriate call is highlighted.
2. Press .
Remove a call from
hold on the current line
Tips

• 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.
• Your system administrator determines the duration between Hold Reversion alerts.

Basic Call Handling
Tips
• If on-hook transfer is enabled on your phone, you can either hang up to complete the call, or press
and then hang up.
• If on-hook transfer is not enabled on your phone, hanging up without pressing again places
the call on hold.
• You cannot use to redirect a call on hold. Press Resume to remove the call from hold before
transferring it.
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 time-out
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.
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.033
Page 34
• 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 Cisco Unified CM 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.
If you want to...Then...
Set up Call Forward All on
your primary line
Cancel Call Forward All on
Press CFwdALL and enter a target phone number.
NoteYour phone might have additional line keys assigned to the same
directory number as your primary line. If so (and you want all
calls to that directory number forwarded) you need to set call
forwarding for each of these lines.
Press CFwdALL.
your primary line
Verify that Call Forward All is
enabled on your primary line
Look for:
• The call forward icon next to the primary phone number: ,
which is always on line key 1.
• The call forward target number in the status line.
Set up or cancel call
forwarding remotely, or for a
non-primary line
1. Log in to your User Options web pages. (See Accessing Your
User Options Web Pages, page 64.)
2. Access your call forwarding settings. (See Controlling Line
Settings on the Web, page 71.)
NoteWhen call forwarding is enabled for any line other than the
primary line, your phone does not provide you with
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.
34OL-15791-01
Page 35
Basic Call Handling
• 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.
When DND and Call Forward 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 DNDPress DND.
“Do Not Disturb” displays on the phone, the DND lights
(solid), and the ring tone is turned off.
Turn off DNDPress DND.
Customize DND settings1. Log in to your User Options web pages. See Accessing Your
User Options Web Pages, page 64.
2. 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).

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 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 using 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.
• You cannot place an intercom call on hold.
NoteIf you log into your desk phone every day using your Extension Mobility profile, make sure
that your system administrator configures your Extension Mobility profile to include the
intercom feature.

phone.
• You can dial directed call park numbers if you do not have Directed Call Park buttons on your
phone. 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
Log in to receive hunt group
calls
Press HLog. Your phone screen displays, “Logged out of Hunt
Group.”
Press HLog. 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.
44OL-15791-01
Page 45
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
If you are sharing a line with co-workers using a different model Cisco Unified IP Phone, they might
be able to add (or barge) themselves to your active call on the shared line. Your phone does not
typically support this feature. If you need it, contact your system administrator for assistance.
Otherwise, enable privacy to prevent co-workers from joining your calls.
Privacy, page 45 for exceptions).
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 others who share the line from viewing or barging your calls.
Working with Shared Lines
You can view information about calls on your shared lines, retrieve a call on a shared line placed on
hold by a co-worker, and prevent others from barging calls.
If you want to...Then...
See if the shared line is in useLook for the remote-in-use icon next to a red line button

Tips
• If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the
shared line as usual.
• The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple
shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers cannot view or barge calls on any of your shared
lines.

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
See the state of a
speed-dial line
Look for BLF indicators next to the line number:
Line is in-use.
Line is idle.
Look for BLF indicators next to the line number:
Line is in-use.
Line is idle.
BLF- monitored line is ringing (BLF Pickup)
Use BLF Pickup to
answer a call ringing on
a coworker’s phone
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.
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).
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 can support these types of calls:
• Authenticatedcall—The identities of all phones participating in the call have been verified.
• Encryptedcall—The phone is receiving and transmitting encrypted audio (your conversation)
within the Cisco IP network. Encrypted calls are also authenticated.
46OL-15791-01
Page 47
Advanced Call Handling
• 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
NoteThere are interactions, restrictions, and limitations that affect how security features work on
your phone. For more information, ask your system administrator.
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.
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.047
Page 48
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.
Your phone plays a tone and displays the message, “MCID
successful.”
Prioritizing Critical Calls
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
48OL-15791-01
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.
Page 49
Advanced Call Handling
Want to view priority level of a callLook 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).
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.
• Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) overrides the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature.
• 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
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...
Log in to EM1. Choose ()> Services > EM Service (name can vary).
2. Enter your user ID and PIN (provided by your system administrator).
3. If prompted, select a device profile.
Log out of EM1. Choose ()> Services > EM Service (name can vary).
2. When prompted to log out, press Yes .
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.049

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 Cisco Unified CM 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.
