Self Care Portal

You can customize some phone settings with the Self Care portal web site, which you access from your computer. The Self Care portal is part of your organization's Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Your administrator gives you the URL to access the Self Care portal, and provides your user ID and password.

In the Self Care portal, you can control features, line settings, and phone services for your phone.

- Phone features include speed dial, do not disturb, and your personal address book.

- Line settings affect a specific phone line (directory number) on your phone. Line settings can include call forwarding, visual and audio message indicators, ring patterns, and other line-specific settings.

- Phone services can include special phone features, network data, and web-based information (such as stock quotes and movie listings). Use the Self Care Portal to subscribe to a phone service before you access it on your phone.

The following table describes some specific features that you configure with the Self Care portal. For more information, see the Self Care portal documentation for your call control system.

Features Available on the Self Care Portal

Features

Description

Call forward

Use the number that receives calls when call forward is enabled on the phone. Use the Self Care portal to set up more complicated call forward functions, for example, when your line is busy.

Additional phones

Specify the additional phones such as your mobile phone that you want to use to make and receive calls with the same directory numbers as your desk phone. You can also define blocked and preferred contacts to restrict or allow calls from certain numbers to be sent to your mobile phone. When you set up additional phones, you can also set up these features:

- Single number reach—Specify whether the additional phone should ring when someone calls your desk phone.

- Mobile calls—If the additional phone is a mobile phone, you can set it up to allow you to transfer mobile calls to your desk phone or desk phone calls to your mobile phone.

Speed dial

Assign phone numbers to speed-dial numbers so that you can quickly call that person.

- Speed-Dial Numbers

Speed-Dial Numbers

When you dial a number on your phone, you enter a series of digits. When you set up a speed-dial number, the speed-dial number must contain all the digits you need to make the call. For example, if you need to dial 9 to get an outside line, you enter the number 9 and then the number you want to dial.

You can also add other dialed digits to the number. Examples of additional digits include a meeting access code, an extension, a voicemail password, an authorization code, and a billing code.

The dial string can contain the following characters:

- 0 to 9

- Pound (#)

- Asterisk (*)

- Comma (,)—This is the pause character, and gives a 2 second delay in the dialing. You can have several commas in a row. For example, two commas (,,) represent a pause of 4 seconds.

The rules for dial strings are:

- Use the comma to separate the parts of the dial string.

- An authorization code must always precede a billing code in the speed-dial string.

- A single comma is required between the authorization code and the billing code in the string.

- A speed-dial label is required for speed dials with authorization codes and additional digits.

Before you configure the speed dial, try to dial the digits manually at least once to ensure that the digit sequence is correct.

Your phone does not save the authorization code, billing code, or extra digits from the speed dial in the call history. If you press Redial after you connect to a speed-dial destination, the phone prompts you to enter any required authorization code, billing code, or additional digits manually.

Example

To set up a speed-dial number to call a person at a specific extension, and if you need an authorization code and billing code, consider the following requirements:

- You need to dial 9 for an outside line.

- You want to call 5556543.

- You need to input the authorization code 1234.

- You need to input the billing code 9876.

- You must wait for 4 seconds.

- After the call connects, you must dial the extension 56789#.

In this scenario, the speed-dial number is 95556543,1234,9876,,56789#.

The following figure is a home screen in Line view. To access the Applications screen, press left on the Navigation ring.

Line View

Differences Between Phone Calls and Lines

We use the terms lines and calls in very specific ways to explain how to use your phone. Here is an explanation of the differences.

Lines

Each line corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call you. Your phone supports up to six lines. To see your phone lines, press Phone to open the line view. You have as many lines as you have directory numbers with phone line icons in the line view list.

Calls

Each line can support multiple calls, typically up to four calls. Your phone can support up to 24 connected calls, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.

Here is an example: If you have two lines and each line supports four calls, then you could have up to eight connected calls at one time. Only one of those calls is active and the other seven are held calls.

Out-of-Range Alerts

Your system administrator can configure your phone to send you an audible alert (beep) when you are out of range of the wireless network. When you hear the alert, the (no signal) icon displays on the phone screen.

When you are out of range of the wireless network, you cannot use the phone for features requiring a wireless network connection, such as making and receiving calls.

If your system administrator enabled the out-of-range alert, depending on the configuration, you might hear a beep only once, or every 10, 30, or 60 seconds until you are back within range of the wireless network.

To reconnect to the wireless network after you hear the alert, move to another location until you see the signal icon on the phone screen again.

Phone Battery Life

Your phone contains a lithium ion battery. The fully charged battery provides the following hours of service:

- Up to 11.5 hours of talk time (depends on phone firmware and charger version)

The following table shows the differences in talk time when you use:

- The new 4.35V Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 Desktop Charger and Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 Multi Charger

Battery life depends on a number of factors including:

- On time—The battery life is reduced when the phone is turned on. Calls, messages, application use, Bluetooth use, and actions like menu navigation use power.

- Scan mode—Your phone can be set up to scan the access points in three different ways (Continuous, Auto, Single AP). If your phone uses Continuous or Auto scan modes, the phone requires more power, which reduces battery talk time.

If you require longer talk times, you will find it useful to have a spare, charged battery.

Caution

The expected lifecycle for a battery is two years. Based on the average usage, this corresponds to approximately 500 charges. You can check the date printed on the battery to calculate the age of the battery. We recommend you to replace the battery when it reaches its end of life.

- Low Battery Warning

Low Battery Warning

There are two low battery warning levels. When the charge on your phone battery reaches each level, a low battery alarm beeps and a warning appears on the screen. Based on the warning level, you have a set amount of time to either charge or replace the battery before the phone automatically powers off. The following table describes the low battery warning levels.

Bluetooth and Your Phone

You can use a Bluetooth headset with your phone.

Bluetooth connections work best when you're within 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) from your phone, but you might be able to be as far away as 66 feet (20 meters). The Bluetooth connection can degrade if you have a barrier (wall, door, window), large metal object, or other electronic devices between your phone and the connected device.

To connect a headset to your phone with Bluetooth, you start by pairing the headset with your phone. You can pair up to 5 Bluetooth headsets with the phone. After the headset is paired, the phone connects to the headset when the headset is turned on. The last Bluetooth headset connected with the phone is the headset that the phone uses.

Note

The Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821-EX has not been tested or certified with any accessories for use in Potentially Explosive Atmosphere.

Prioritized Calls

In your job, you might need to handle urgent or critical situations using your phone. You can identify calls as being very important, and thus have a higher priority than normal calls. The priorities range from level 1 (low) to level 5 (high). This system of priorities is called Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP).

Your administrator sets up the priorities that you can use and determines if you need special sign-in information.

When a high-priority call rings on your phone, you see the priority level on the phone screen. If you are on a call when a high-priority call comes to your phone, the high-priority call preempts the current call and you hear a special preemption ringtone. You should hang up from your current call to answer the high-priority call.

Note

The Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821-EX has not been tested or certified with any accessories for use in Potentially Explosive Atmosphere.

The phones can only connect to Bluetooth headsets and speakers. They do not support any other type of Bluetooth device.

The phones have other accessories, including carry cases and a silicone case. For more information on accessories, see the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 882x Series Accessory Guide, located here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/collaboration-endpoints/unified-ip-phone-8800-series/products-user-guide-list.html.

Headsets

You can use wired and Bluetooth headsets with your phone. For information about the supported headsets, see the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 882x Series Accessory Guide.

Although we perform some internal testing of third-party wired and Bluetooth wireless headsets for use with the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 and 8821-EX, we do not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where phones are deployed, there is not a single "best" solution that is optimal for all environments. We recommend that customers test the headsets that work best in their environment before deploying a large number of units in their network.

Note

The Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821-EX has not been tested for wired and Bluetooth headsets in hazardous locations.

We recommend the use of good quality external devices, like 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 cell phones and two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur.

The primary reason that a particular headset would be inappropriate for the phone is the potential for an audible hum. This hum can be heard by either the remote party or by both the remote party and you, the phone user. Some potential humming or buzzing sounds can be caused by a range of outside sources, for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors. In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause remote parties to hear an echo of their own voice when they speak to phone users.

Important Headset Safety Information

High Sound Pressure—Avoid listening to high volume levels for long periods to prevent possible hearing damage.

When you plug in your headset, lower the volume of the headset speaker before you put the headset on. If you remember to lower the volume before you take the headset off, the volume will start lower when you plug in your headset again.

Be aware of your surroundings. When you use your headset, it may block out important external sounds, particularly in emergencies or in noisy environments. Don’t use the headset while driving. Don’t leave your headset or headset cables in an area where people or pets can trip over them. Always supervise children who are near your headset or headset cables.

Standard Headsets

You can use a wired headset with your phone. The headset requires a 3.5 mm, 3-band, 4-connector plug.

We recommend the Cisco Headset 520 Series. This headset offers outstanding audio performance. It has a 3.5 mm audio plug that you can plug into the wireless phone. You can also use the headset and its inline controller with some of the desk phones in the Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series. For more information on the headset, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collaboration-endpoints/headset-500-series/index.html.

If you plug a headset into the phone during an active call, the audio path automatically changes to the headset.

Bluetooth Headsets

You can use a Bluetooth® headset with your phone. When you use a Bluetooth wireless headset, the headset usually increases battery power consumption on your phone and may result in reducing battery life.

For a Bluetooth wireless headset to work, it does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the phone, but some barriers, such as walls or doors, and interference from other electronic devices, can affect the connection.

The FCC has established the detailed body-worn SAR requirements and has established that these requirements have been met with the specific belt-clip/holster provided with the handset. Other belt-clip/holsters or similar accessories that have not been tested may not comply and therefore should be avoided.

RF Exposure Information

The radio module has been evaluated found to be compliant to the requirements as set forth in 47 CFR Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices. This model meets the applicable government requirements for exposure to radio frequency waves.

THIS DEVICE MEETS THE LIMITS AS REFERENCED BY ISED RSS-102 R5 FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your Cisco Wireless IP Phone 882x Series device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the General populace (uncontrolled ) limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) as referenced in RSS-102 which references Health Canada Safety Code 6 and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user. It is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.

The device has been tested and found compliant with the applicable regulations as part of the radio certification process.

Maximum SAR for this Model and Conditions Under Which it was Recorded

Head SAR

WLAN 5GHz

0.63 W/kg

Body-worn SAR

WLAN 5GHz

0.67 W/kg

This wireless phone contains a radio transceiver. The radio transceiver and antenna have been designed to meet the RF emission requirements for human exposure as specified by the FCC as well as by other agencies from other countries. These guidelines were developed by the industry based on guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO). These industry standards have been developed to include additional safety margins to ensure that the user is exposed to the least amount of RF radiation.

The radio transceiver uses a non ionization type of radiation as opposed to an ionized radiation such as an X-Ray wave.

The exposure standard for these devices references a unit of measure known as SAR. The limit as set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The tests for this emission level is done in an independent laboratory who employs test methods and operating positions reviewed by the FCC and other agencies.

Before the phone was placed on the market, the product was tested and certified in accordance with the FCC regulations to verify that the product did not exceed the FCC SAR requirements.

Additional information on SAR and RF Exposure can be obtained off the FCC website at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety

There is no conclusive proof that these mobile phones are or are not a health risk. The FDA and numerous researchers are continuing studies of RF radiation and health issues. Additional information on this subject can be obtained from the FDA web site at: http://www.fda.gov

The Cisco Wireless IP Phone 882x Series operates at power levels that are 5 to 6 times lower than most standard cellular, Personal Communications Service (PCS), or Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) phones. This lower power coupled with a lower transmitter duty cycle reduces the user’s exposure to the RF fields.

There are several suggested methods to reduce exposure for the user. Among those include:

1. Using a hands-free handset to increase the distance between the antenna and the head of the user.

2. Orienting the antenna away from the user.

Permit to Connect (PTC) General Warning

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Spark NZ has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Spark NZ, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Spark NZ network services.

Use of IP Networks with the PSTN

Internet Protocol (IP) by its nature introduces delay into speech signals as each data packet is formulated and addressed. Spark NZ Access Standards recommends that suppliers, designers and installers using this technology for calls to or from the PSTN refer to ITU E Model requirements in the design of their networks. The overall aim is to minimise delay, distortion and other transmission impairments, particularly for those calls involving cellular and international networks, which already suffer extensive delay.

The Use of Voice Compression Through the PSTN

Because of the extensive delay already experienced when calling cellular and international networks, some of which is already caused by their use of voice compression technologies. Spark NZ Access Standards will only approve G711 voice technology for use on the PSTN. G711 is an ‘instantaneous speech-encoding technique’ whereas G729 and all its variants are considered ‘near instantaneous’ introducing additional delay into the speech signal.

Echo Cancellation

Echo cancelers are not normally required in the Spark NZ PSTN because geographic delays are acceptable where CPE return loss is maintained within Telepermit limits. However, those private networks that make use of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology are required to provide echo cancellation for all voice calls. The combined effect of audio/VoIP conversion delay and IP routing delay can cause the echo cancellation time of 64 mS to be required.
