applications. Your phone may include several different Cisco apps that allow you to:
• Place and receive phone calls.
• Put calls on hold.
• Transfer calls.
• Have conference calls.
• Forward your calls.
• Monitor your phone battery life.
• Customize your phone buttons.
• If configured, provide emergency safety features such as alarms and motion monitoring.
• If configured, send group broadcasts.

Like other network devices, system administrators configure and manage these phones. Based on the needs
of your organization, administrators may limit certain apps, features, or settings that may be available on
consumer-grade Android devices.
Contact your system administrator for information about the configured capabilities of your phone within
your organization.

Ingress Protection
The Webex Wireless Phone 840 and 860 are tested under controlled laboratory conditions.
The Webex Wireless Phone 840 and 840S have a rating of IP65 in ordinary locations. IP65 indicates that the
phones can withstand dust and are resistant to water spray from a nozzle.
The Webex Wireless Phone 860 and 860S have a rating of IP68 in ordinary locations. IP68 indicates that the
phones can withstand dust and are resistant to brief submersion in shallow fresh water.
Due to normal wear, the resistance of the phone to dust and water may decrease. Therefore, it’s important to
take care of your phone and not deliberately expose the phone to a hostile environment of dust or water.

Getting started
You must read Product Safety and Security, before you install or charge the battery, or use the phone.
A rechargeable Lithium ion battery powers your phone. Before you can use your phone, install and charge
the battery.
Your phone needs to connect to the corporate wireless network and the IP telephony network. Your
administrator might set up your new wireless phone, or you might have to set it up. After the phone is set up,
you can use the phone.
Make sure that you know how to turn your phone on and off and learn the available options of the phone. To
comply with security standards, your organization may require you to sign in with unique credentials.
Your organization may allow some functions when the phone is locked. For example, you may be able to
answer a call, place an emergency call, and see certain notifications. Check with your administrator if you
have any questions about security.
Don’t use the Android Battery Saver mode. It curtails functionality to conserve battery life. In Battery
Saver mode, features that you rely on may not work. If you require more than one charge per shift, contact
your system administrator for a second battery.
For your Webex Wireless Phone 860 and 860S, you can use the hot swap battery change technique to maintain
connectivity without loss of functionality.
The Webex Wireless Phone 840 and 840S do not have an internal battery, so they do not support the hot swap
feature.

Turn on your phone
Generally, your system administrator deploys your phone with multiple other phones and sets up the phone
parameters before you receive the phone. In this case, the phone registers with the system and is ready for
you to use when you turn it on. If your phone doesn’t work when you turn it on, contact your system
administrator.
After you power on your phone, allow the screens to cycle through a bootup screen, the Cisco splash screen,
and the Android screen. If your organization requires a PIN or password, the lock screen displays. If your
phone doesn't need a password, the launcher screen automatically appears when you turn on the phone.
Before you begin
To maximize the storage capacity and lifespan of the battery, fully charge the battery before the first use of
the phone.
To check the battery status while the phone is plugged into the charger, briefly press the Power button. When
the battery life indicator is solid, the battery charge is full.
Note
Procedure
Press and hold the Power button until the phone vibrates and the first screen displays.

Unlock your phone
To unlock your phone screen, you may need a password. Contact your system administrator for more
instructions. If available, the screen lock options are None, Swipe, Pattern, PIN, or Password.
User preferences and critical alerts display only after you unlock the phone.
If the phone is inactive for a set amount of time, the screen turns black and the phone goes into sleep mode.
You, or someone else, can make an emergency call from a locked phone screen using the Emergency call
button.

Note
Procedure
Step 1 If the phone is in sleep mode, briefly press the Power button.
Step 2 If necessary, swipe up on the Lock screen.

Lock your phone
It’s best practice to turn off your screen whenever you’re not using your phone. Turning off the screen:

• Prevents accidentally activating a button when you store the phone in a pocket or other place.
• Helps extend the battery life.
Procedure
Briefly press the Power button.

Self Care portal
The Self Care portal is part of your organization's Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You access the
Self Care portal from your computer browser. Your administrator gives you the URL to access the Self Care
portal, and provides your user ID and password.
On the Self Care portal website, you can:
• Customize your call forward.
• Manage your personal directory contacts.
To customize all other features, use your phone.
Hardware, buttons, screen, and apps
Your phone's hardware, buttons, screens, and apps are similar to that of a consumer-grade smartphone or other
Android device. However, since your phone is a managed device, your organization may configure certain
limitations or allowances on the phone.
Hardware and buttons
Your wireless phone has many hardware features and buttons that you use regularly.
Although the Webex Wireless Phone 840 and Webex Wireless Phone 860 are different sizes, the hardware
and buttons perform the same actions. However, the hardware features and buttons are not in the same location
on the phones. Another difference between the phones is that the Webex Wireless Phone 840 doesn't have a
fingerprint button.

Launcher screen
The launcher screen is the first screen that you see after you turn on or unlock the phone. It differs based on
how the administrator customizes the phones, but contains the following general areas:
•Top of the screen—Contains the status bar, which displays the time and icons that give you information
about the status of your phone and notifications.
•Body of the screen—Contains the apps and widgets that the administrator installs on the phone. The
administrator may use a smart launcher to display a limited number of apps, so what you see can vary
from a:
•Launcher screen with all the factory default apps and widgets such as a phone, web browser, camera,
and collection of Android and custom Cisco apps.
• Smart launcher screen with multiple selected apps.
• Smart launcher screen with a single, open app.
•Bottom of the screen—Contains navigation controls.
The smart launchers in this guide show what you may see if the administrator uses the Webex Wireless Phone
Configuration Management tool to set up your phone. Your phone may not look or act exactly as described
in this guide if set up with another tool, such as an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) application.
