Chapter 6 Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Automatically Disabling the Cisco Unified IP Phone Touchscreen

You can configure settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to turn off the display at a designated time on some days and all day on other days. For example, you may choose to turn off the display after business hours on weekdays and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

When the display is off, the LCD screen is dark and disabled, and the Display button lights. You can take any of these actions to turn on the display any time it is off:

•Press any button on the phone.

If you press a button other than the Display button, the phone will take the action designated by that button in addition to turning on the display.

•Touch the touchscreen.

•Lift the handset.

When you turn the display on, it remains on until the phone has remained idle for a designated length of time, then it turns off automatically.

Note You can use the Display button to temporarily disable the touchscreen for cleaning. See the “Cleaning the Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 9-17for more information.

Table 6-1explains the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration fields that control when the display turns on and off. You configure these fields in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration in the Product Specific configuration window. (You access this window by choosing Device > Phone from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.)

You can view the display settings for a phone from the Power Save Configuration menu on the phone. For more information, see the “Power Save Configuration Menu” section on page 4-22.
