New and Changed Features
Features Available with the Latest Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Pack
The following sections describe features in the release which require the new firmware and the latest Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Pack.
For information about the Cisco Unified IP Phones and the required Cisco Unified Communications Manager device packs, see the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/devpack_comp_mtx.html
Line Text Label
The Line Text Label feature enables the administrator to add a label to a line appearance on the phone. The label displays instead of the directory number, and helps to distinguish the lines when a phone has multiple lines. For example, lines could be labeled with the person's name, the department name, or other information that would help identify the line.
The administrator sets the Line Text Label field in the
window of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.Installation

Limitations and Restrictions
Phone Behavior During Times of Network Congestion
On-Hook Transfer Limitation in SIP Phones
When the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Transfer On-Hook Enabled field is enabled, users might report a problem with direct call transfer in SIP phones. If the user transfers the call and immediately goes on hook before they hear the ring signal, the call may drop instead of being transferred.
The user needs to hear the ring signal so that they can be sure that the call is being routed.
Language Limitation

Cisco Unified Communication Manager Public Keys
To improve software integrity protection, new public keys are used to sign cop files for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.0.1 and later. These cop files have "k3" in their name. To install a k3 cop file on a pre-10.0.1 Cisco Unified Communications Manager, consult the README for the ciscocm.version3-keys.cop.sgn to determine if this additional cop file must first be installed on your specific Cisco Unified Communications Manager version. If these keys are not present and are required, you will see the error "The selected file is not valid" when you try to install the software package.
Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer
By default, Cisco IP Phones are set up for the English (United States) locale. To use the Cisco IP Phones in other locales, you must install the locale-specific version of the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer on every Cisco Unified Communications Manager server in the cluster. The Locale Installer installs the latest translated text for the phone user interface and country-specific phone tones on your system so that they are available for the Cisco IP Phones.
To access the Locale Installer required for a release, access http://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html?mdfid=286037605&flowid=46245, navigate to your phone model, and select the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer link.
For more information, see the documentation for your particular Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.
Note
The latest Locale Installer may not be immediately available; continue to check the website for updates.
Cisco IP Phone Firmware Support Policy
For information on the support policy for Cisco IP Phones, see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/collaboration-endpoints/unified-ip-phone-7900-series/116684-technote-ipphone-00.html.
Cisco IP Phone Documentation Updates on Cisco Unified Communications Manager
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Self Care Portal (Release 10.0 and later) and User Options web pages (Release 9.1 and earlier) provide links to the IP Phone user guides in PDF format. These user guides are stored on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and are up to date when the Cisco Unified Communications Manager release is first made available to customers.
After a Cisco Unified Communications Manager release, subsequent updates to the user guides appear only on the Cisco website. The phone firmware release notes contain the applicable documentation URLs. In the web pages, updated documents display "Updated" beside the document link.
NoteThe Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Packages and the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer do not update the English user guides on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Administrators and users should check the Cisco website for updated user guides and download the PDF files. Administrators can also make the files available to the users on their company website.
TipAdministrators may want to bookmark the web pages for the phone models that are deployed in their company and send these URLs to their users.
