productivity features that extend your call-handling capabilities. Depending on the configuration,
your phone supports:
•Access to network data, XML applications, and web-based services.
•Online customizing of phone features and services from your Cisco Unified CM User Options
web pages.
•A comprehensive online help system that displays information on the phone screen.

Understanding Lines and Calls
The terms lines and calls can be easily confused.
•Lines—Each corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call
you. Your phone can support up to eight lines, depending on your phone and configuration. To
see your phone lines, 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.

Understanding SIP and 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.
Understanding Energy Savings
Your phone supports the Cisco EnergyWise program. Your system administrator sets up sleep (power
down) and wake (power up) times for your phone to save energy.
Ten minutes before the scheduled sleep time if the audible alert is enabled by your system
administrator, you hear your ringtone play. The ringtone plays according to the following schedule:
•At 10 minutes before power down, the ringtone plays four times
•At 7 minutes before power down, the ringtone plays four times
•At 4 minutes before power down, the ringtone plays four times

•At 30 seconds before power down, the ringtone plays 15 times or until the phone powers down
If your phone is inactive (idle) at the sleep time, you see a message to remind you that your phone is
going to power down. To keep the phone active, press any key on the phone. If you do not press any
key, your phone powers down.
If your phone is active (for example, on a call), your phone waits until it has been inactive for a period
of time before informing you of the pending power shutdown. Before the shutdown happens, you see
a message to remind you that your phone is going to power down.
At the scheduled time, your phone powers up. To wake up the phone before the schedule time, contact
your administrator.
Wake and sleep times are also linked to the configured days that you normally work. If your
requirements change (for example, your work hours or work days change), see your system
administrator to have your phone reconfigured.
For more information about EnergyWise and your phone, see your system administrator.
