We can't always guarantee that the perfect solution to your specific problem will be waiting for you. 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 support of a headset would be inappropriate for an installation is the potential for an audible hum. This hum can either be heard by the remote party or by both the remote party and 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.

See the "Safety Information" section for more information. Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound good to the user and 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. For information about headsets, see:. Use these buttons to adjust the ear piece volume and to mute the speech path from the headset microphone. Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices speakers, microphones, and headsets that are shielded 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 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:. 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.

After charging the battery and configuring the wireless IP phone, you are ready to power on the phone and connect to the WLAN. Use the following sections for more information about starting up the phone:. The phone displays the Cisco Systems screen. The phone screen displays these messages as the phone starts up:. The following information displays on the main phone screen:. When the phone passes through these stages with no errors, the phone started up properly.

Now the phone is in standby mode and is ready to place or receive calls. The signal icon in the upper left corner shows the strength of the signal between the wireless access point and the phone. The phone must have an adequate signal to successfully place or receive calls. If the signal icon displays only one bar, the weak signal can cause problems with phone performance.

Note The status message, "Leaving Service Area" indicates that the phone is not receiving a strong signal. If the phone does not complete these steps successfully, see the "Resolving Startup and Connectivity Problems" section on page The phone is in active mode when there is an active RTP stream. When the phone is performing one of these actions, it is consuming power:. The standard battery provides up to 10 hours of talk time in active mode and the extended battery provides up to 12 hours of talk time.

The standard battery provides up to 80 hours of standby time and the extended battery provides up to hours of standby time. Depending on your specific network configuration, not all of these steps may occur on your unified IP phone. At startup, the phone runs a bootstrap loader that loads a phone image stored in Flash memory. Using this image, the phone initializes its software and hardware.

Resolving Startup and Connectivity Problems, page The phone searches its network profiles and scans for access points that have a matching SSID and authentication type. The phone associates with the access point with the highest RSSI that matches with its network profile.

For added security, static WEP encryption might optionally be used. Authentication Mechanisms in the Wireless Network, page The unified IP phone checks to verify that the proper firmware is installed or if new firmware is available to download.

Cisco Unified CallManager informs devices using. Devices using. The TFTP server has configuration files and profile files. A configuration file includes parameters for connecting to Cisco Unified CallManager and information about which image load a phone should be running. A profile file contains various parameters and values for phone and network settings.

If the phone was manually added to the database, Cisco Unified CallManager identifies and registers the phone. If the phone was not manually added to the database and auto-registration is enabled in Cisco Unified CallManager, the phone attempts to auto-register itself in the Cisco Unified CallManager database.
