New and Changed Features
The following sections describe the features that are new or have changed in this release.
Note
Some features may require the installation of a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package. Failure to install the Device Package before the phone firmware upgrade may render the phones unusable.
Installation
Installation Requirements
Before you install the firmware release, you must ensure that your Cisco Unified Communications Manager is running the latest device pack. After you install a device pack on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers in the cluster, you need to reboot all the servers.
NoteIf your Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not have the required device pack to support this firmware release, the firmware may not work correctly.
For information on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Packs, see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/devpack_comp_mtx.html.

View Caveats
ProcedureYou can search for caveats using the Cisco Bug Search.
Known caveats (bugs) are graded according to severity level, and can be either open or resolved.
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 https://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 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.
You and your users should check the Cisco website for updated user guides and download the PDF files. You can also make the files available to your users on your company website.
TipYou may want to bookmark the web pages for the phone models that are deployed in your company and send these URLs to your users.
