Automatically Disabling the Cisco Unified IP Phone Touchscreen
To conserve power and ensure the longevity of the LCD screen on the phone, you
can set the LCD to turn off when it is not needed.
You can configure settings in CiscoUnified CallManager 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 page9-24 for
more information.
Table 6 -1 explains the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration fields that
control when the display turns on and off. You configure these fields in
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration in the Product Specific Configuration
page. (You access this page by choosing Device> Phone from Cisco Unified
CallManager 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 4-32.
