Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phones

Installing the Cisco Unified IP Phones

• Route the external device cables away from the source of the RF or AF signals.

• Use shielded cables for the external device, or use cables with a better shield and connector.

• Shorten the length of the external device cable.

• Apply ferrites or other such devices on the cables for the external device.

Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of the system because Cisco has no control over the quality of

external devices, cables, and connectors. The system performs adequately when suitable devices are

attached using good quality cables and connectors.

Caution In European Union countries, use only external headsets that are fully compliant with the EMC Directive

[89/336/EC].

Installing the Cisco Unified IP Phones

You must connect the Cisco Unified IP Phone to the network and to a power source before using it. See

Figure 3-2 for a graphical representation of the connections.

Note Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current firmware image. Before

using external devices, read the Using External Devices, page 3-5 for safety and performance

information.

Before You Begin

Remove the hookswitch clip (see Handset, page 3-3) from the cradle area.

To install a Cisco Unified IP Phone, perform the tasks described in Table 3-1:
