Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits totelephone network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WANports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports use RJ-45 connectors. Use cautionwhen connecting cables.
Caution Inline power circuits provide current through the communication cable. Use the Ciscoprovided cable or a minimum 24 AWG communication cable.
Using an External Power Supply
The following warnings apply when you use the external power supply with the Cisco Unified IPPhone:
Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (over current)protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carryingconductors).
Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.
Warning The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as themain disconnecting device.
Warning The power supply must be placed indoors.
Caution Only use the Cisco specified power supply with this product.
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 orreconfigure 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 againstunwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals.
Depending on the quality of these devices and their proximity to other devices such as mobile phonesor two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur. In these cases, Cisco recommends that you takeone 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 qualityof external devices, cables, and connectors. The system will perform adequately when suitable devicesare attached using good quality cables and connectors.
Caution In European Union countries, use only external speakers, microphones, and headsets thatare fully compliant with the EMC Directive [89/336/EC].

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 willensure that the receiver will not readily slip out of the cradle. See the table below for instructions.
Registering with TAPS
After your phone is connected to the network, your system administrator might ask you toauto-register your phone using TAPS (Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support). TAPS might be usedfor 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, includingthe area code. After your phone displays a confirmation message, hang up. The phone will re-start.
1 Set the handset aside and pull the square plastic tab from the handset rest.
2 Rotate the tab 180 degrees.
3 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.

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 theCisco 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 whereCisco Unified IP Phones are deployed, there is not a single best solution that is optimal for allenvironments. Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets that work best in their environmentbefore deploying a large number of units in their network.
In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause remote parties to hearan 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 screenedagainst unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals. Depending on the quality ofthese devices and their proximity to other devices such as cell phones and two-way radios, some audionoise may still occur. See the Using External Devices section on page 11for more information.
The primary reason that a particular headset would be inappropriate for the Cisco Unified IP Phoneis the potential for an audible hum. This hum can be heard by either the remote party or by both theremote 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 usinga local power cube. See the Using an External Power Supply section on page 10for moreinformation.
Audio Quality Subjective to the User
Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset mustsound 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 thesites listed below have been reported to perform well on Cisco Unified IP Phones.

Using a Shared LineYour 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.
Sharing Call Information and Barging
Phones that share a line each display information about calls that are placed and received on the sharedline. This information might include caller ID and call duration. (See the Privacysection forexceptions.)
When call information is visible in this way, you and coworkers who share a line can add yourselvesto calls using either Bargeor cBarge. See the Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call section onpage 37.
Privacy
If you do not want coworkers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable thePrivacy feature. Doing so also prevents coworkers from barging your calls. See the Preventing Othersfrom Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call section on page 38.
Note The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone.
