Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0 (SCCP) 5
Adjusting the Handset Rest
Cisco recommends adjusting the handset rest, particularly when wall-mounting the phone, as this will
ensure 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 to
auto-register your phone using TAPS (Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support). TAPS might be used
for 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, including
the area code. After your phone displays a confirmation message, hang up. The phone will re-start.
Headset Support
Although Cisco Systems performs limited internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the
Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset (or handset) vendors.
Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices, for example, 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 mobile phones and two-way radios, some
audio noise or echo may still occur. An audible hum or buzz may be heard by either the remote party
or by both the remote party and the Cisco Unified IP Phone user. Humming or buzzing sounds can be
caused by a range of outside sources: for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors.
See the
“Using External Devices” section on page 2 for more information.
