The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco EnergyWise enables you to reduce energy consumption in your network by turning off the power to devices when they are not in use. If IP phones are part of your network, they can also be turned off through EnergyWise, in which case calls cannot be made or received, and the phones cannot be turned on except by the network administrator or according to rules established in EnergyWise by the network administrator. Laws in the location of your network might require phones to remain available for emergencies. It is your responsibility to identify the laws which apply and to comply with them. Even in the absence of a law, we strongly recommend that you designate certain phones which will always be on and available to make and receive emergency calls. These phones should be clearly identified, and all employees or others who might require emergency access to make or receive calls should be informed of the availability of these phones.
