(SCCP phones only.)
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 Series eLearning tutorials use audio and animation to demonstrate
basic calling features. You can access eLearning tutorials online (for several phone models) from your
personal computer. Look for the eLearning tutorial (English only) for your phone model in the
documentation list at the following location:
NoteAlthough eLearning tutorials for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G are not
available, refer to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 Series eLearning tutorials for an overview
of the common IP phone features and functionality.
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:
2OL-17709-01
Getting Started
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.
CautionIn European Union countries, use only external headsets that are fully compliant with the
EMC Directive [89/336/EC].

Your system administrator will likely connect your new Cisco Unified IP Phone to the corporate IP
telephony network. If that is not the case, refer to the graphic and table below to connect your phone.

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.
123
120521
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
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 Information
To use a headset, connect it to the headset port on the back of your phone.
Although Cisco Systems performs some internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the
Cisco Unified IP Phones, 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 Phone 7962G and 7942G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(3) (SCCP and SIP)
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.
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.
Cisco Systems 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.
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, being near electric motors,
large PC monitors. In some cases, a hum experienced by a user may be reduced or eliminated by using
a local power cube or power injector.
Audio Quality Subjective to the User
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 or handsets, but some of the headsets and handsets on the
sites listed below have been reported to perform well on Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Nevertheless, it is ultimately still the customer's responsibility to test this equipment in their own
environment to determine suitable performance.

Understanding Lines and Calls
To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:
Lines—Each line corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call
you. The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G supports one to six lines and the Cisco Unified IP Phone
7942G supports one to two lines, depending on configuration. To see how many lines you have, look
at the right side of your phone screen. You have as many lines as you have directory numbers and
phone line icons: .
Calls—Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports four connected calls per
line, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. Only one call can
be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.

An Overview of Your Phone
Understanding SIP vs. SCCP
Your phone can be configured to work with one of two signaling protocols: SIP (Session Initiation
Protocol) or SCCP (Skinny Call Control Protocol). Your system administrator determines this
configuration.
Phone features can vary depending on the protocol. This Phone Guide indicates which features are
protocol-specific. To learn which protocol your phone is using, you can ask your system administrator
or you can choose > Model Information > Call Control Protocol on your phone.

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 and the phone displays the remote 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...
Put a call on hold1. Make sure the call you want to put on hold is highlighted.
2. Press Hold.
Remove a call from
hold on the current line
Remove a call from
hold on a different line
1. Make sure that the appropriate call is highlighted.
2. Press Resume.
1. Press the appropriate line button: or (flashing). Doing so might
cause a held call to resume automatically:
• If there is a reverting call on the line, that call will resume.
• If there is more than one reverting call on the line, the oldest
reverting call will resume.
• 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.
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.
