Providing Information to Users By Using a Website


If you are a system administrator, you are likely the primary source of information for Cisco Unified IP Phone users in your network or company. It is important to provide current and thorough information to end users.

To successfully use some features on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G (such as speed dial numbers and voice messaging system options), users must receive information from you or your network team or be able to contact you for assistance.

Cisco recommends that you create a web page on your internal support site that provides end users with important information about their new Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G.

Consider adding the following types of information to this site:

How the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone Operates

Users need to know that their Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G operates more like a cell phone than like their desktop phone. Small wireless phones with an antenna allow users to move around a facility while staying connected to a call. These phones, like cell phones, can approach the edge of the RF signal range and experience static or poor voice quality. At times, the user might encounter areas where there is no signal and lose the call entirely. The following is a list of calling locations and situations in which wireless phones might experience audio problems:

Stairwells, elevators, rooms with metal equipment such as file cabinets, or heavy machinery

Break rooms with microwave ovens, or labs with equipment that emits RF signals within the same ranges.

Conference rooms or other congested areas where many people are using wireless devices

Parking garages and outdoor areas where access points are not located or out of range.


Caution This product is not a medical device and may use an unlicensed frequency band that is susceptible to interference from other devices or equipment.

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G has many of the same phone features as the IP phone desktop models, such as Mute, access to voice messaging, and directories. The phone has a limited number of buttons, because of its size. As a consequence, the following are some differences in its operation:

No line buttons—You must enter the phone number from the key pad and press Send. You can press the Phone icon from the main screen to use other lines on your phone.

Only two softkeys—You must press the Options softkey to see the list of softkey features.

You do not hear a dial tone.
