If you hit the “More” Soft Key (…) on your phone you will see a Do Not Disturb Soft Key. When you hit this button, your phone will
go into Do Not Disturb mode and will not ring. Selecting Do Not Disturb again will turn it off.

Soft Key it will tell you whether you are enabling or disabling the feature.
CALL PICKUP GROUP
If your department is in a pickup group and you need to answer another employee’s call, simply hit the Pickup Soft Key. This will
redirect the call to your phone (but not auto-answer the call). Once the call is ringing on your phone, you may answer it.
If you do not answer the call, it will automatically revert back to the original receiver’s phone after a few rings.
TRANSFER / FORWARD A CALL
Step 1: Initiate the transfer by either:
a. Hitting the Transfer Button
b. Hitting the Transfer Soft Key
Step 2: Choose whether you will perform a warm or cold transfer:
a. For a warm transfer, dial the number to which you wish to transfer the call and wait for the recipient to answer the call.
You can then provide them with information regarding the call you are about to transfer to them. Then, continue to step 3.
b. For a cold transfer, as soon as the recipient's line starts ringing, continue to step 3 without waiting for them to answer.
Step 3: Complete the transfer by either:
a. Hitting the Transfer Button
b. Hitting the Transfer Soft Key

b. For a cold conference, as soon as the recipient's line starts ringing, continue to step 3 without waiting for them to answer.

voicemail greeting.
Step 3: Complete the conference by either:
a. Hitting the Conference Button
b. Hitting the Conference Soft Key
NOTE: Ad-hoc conference calls may have a maximum of 4 UCO participants. If you need more than 4 UCO participants or off-

UNIFIED MESSAGING
The new voicemail system is integrated with UCO’s email system.
When you receive a voicemail, an email will be sent to your email inbox with a WAV file attached. You may open this WAV
file in Outlook, webmail, or on your smart phone to play your message.
As soon as the email is marked as read, the voicemail system will be notified and the red voicemail indicator on your phone
will turn off (assuming that was the only unread voicemail). The opposite is true as well. If you listen to the message on
your phone, the email will be marked as read.
Deleting the message from either your email or your phone will delete it from the other location as well.
For organizational phones not tied to an individual user, unified messaging is not set up by default. If you would like to forward the
voicemail to email, contact the UCO Service Desk at 974-2255 or [e-mail] with the extension and the desired email
account.
ANALOG AND USB HEADSETS
For a wired headset, plug it into the headset port on the back of the phone. When looking at the back of the phone, the port will be
on the right side just above where the handset is plugged in.
For a USB headset, plug it into the USB port on the phone. You should receive a pop-up telling you that the headset has been
connected.
To use a headset (either wired or USB), hit the Headset button. It is located next to the speakerphone button at the bottom
right of the front of the phone.

Directory.
BLUETOOTH DEVICES
This phone allows you to connect a headset or cell phone through Bluetooth. Before syncing a Bluetooth headset or cell phone to
your desktop phone, you must complete the following steps:
1. Hit the Applications button and then select Bluetooth (Option 3). This will take you to the Bluetooth options page.
By default, “Bluetooth” and “Hands-free 2-way audio” are both set to OFF.
2. To use the Bluetooth function, you must turn both of these on. This must be done before attempting the options below.
SYNC A BLUETOOTH HEADSET
1. Hit the Applications button. Hit 3 to go to the Bluetooth screen. Hit 3 again to select Add Bluetooth Device.
2. Put your headset into Pairing Mode (see the headset’s instruction for how to do this).
3. You should see your headset pop up on the 8851’s screen. Hit the Pair Soft Key and your headset will be paired.
SYNC A CELL PHONE
Intelligent proximity allows you to connect your 8851 with your smart phone. While connected, you have the ability to access your
smart phone’s contact list and missed calls from the desk phone and initiate calls on your cell from your desk phone while using the
desk phone’s handset or speakerphone for the audio.
NOTE: You will lose a speed dial button on your desk phone if you sync your cell phone because the desk phone requires a button
for your cell phone.

15
CISCO PHONE GUIDE 8851 | Rev 5 - 3/2016
1. Hit the Applications button on your phone and then hit 3 to go to the Bluetooth screen. Hit 3 again to select “Add
Bluetooth Device”.
2. Put your cell phone into Bluetooth mode (see the cell phone’s instructions for how to do this).
3. You should see your phone pop up on the 8851’s screen along with a message asking you to verify that the same code is
shown on both the cell phone and the desk phone. If this is true, hit the Pair Soft Key on the desk phone and the Pair key
on the cell phone.
DOWNLOADING & DELETING THE CELL PHONE CONTACT LIST
When you initially pair your cell phone with the 8851, you are asked whether you wish to download your cell phone’s contact list to
the phone. This will allow you to browse the cell’s contact list even when the cell phone isn’t paired with the 8851. This is useful for
informational purposes, however you will not be able to dial directly from this downloaded contact list unless the phone is paired at
the time. The contact list will stay on this phone until it is deleted.
To delete a downloaded cell phone contact list:
1. Hit the Directory button on the 8851
2. Scroll down to highlight the cell phone contact list
3. Hit the Delete Soft Key
INITIATING A CELL PHONE CALL FROM YOUR DESK PHONE
You should now have a new button on your 8851 similar to the one below with the name of your phone.
This will act like another line on your desk phone. If you want to make a call, simply hit the button to the left of the cell phone icon
to select that “line”. Your cell phone will go off hook when you dial, but you will use the 8851’s handset or speakerphone as if it
were a desk phone call.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because you’re technically using your cell phone for the call, dial numbers the same way you would if you were
dialing from your cell phone. In other words, DO NOT use a 9. Also, you cannot make 4-digit on-campus calls using you cell phone
“line”.
MOVING THE AUDIO OF A CELLULAR CALL BETWEEN YOUR CELL AND YOUR DESK PHONE
NOTE: This requires that your cell phone and desk phone are paired.
If you receive or make a call on your cell phone, you may move the audio of the call between your cell phone and your desk phone.
To do so, press the Move Audio soft key. This is a toggle button and will move the call back and forth between your cell phone and
your desk phone.
