4. Retrieve the call, from any other Cisco Unified IP Phone in your network as follows:
a. Enter the park retrieval prefix.
b. Dial the Directed Call number.
For example, if the park retrieval prefix is “99” and the Directed Call number is “1234,”
enter 991234.
If you do not retrieve the call within a certain amount of time (set by your system administrator)
you will receive an alert tone, at which time you can:
Press the Resume softkey to resume the call on your phone.

Call Pickup
Call Pickup allows you to answer a call that is ringing on a co-worker’s phone by redirecting the call
to your phone.
You might use Call Pickup if you share call-handling tasks with co-workers.
There are three ways you can pick up a call:
Pickup—Allows you to answer a call that is ringing on another phone within your call pickup
group.
If multiple calls are available for pick up, your phone picks up the oldest call first (the call that
has been ringing for the longest time).
Group Pickup—Allows you to answer a call on a phone that is outside your call pickup group by:
Using a group pickup number (provided by your system administrator).
Dialing the ringing phone’s number.
Other Pickup—Allows you to answer a call that is ringing on another phone within in your call
pickup group or in an associated call pickup group.
Your system administrator sets up the call pickup group you are in, and the call pickup softkeys
depending on your call-handling needs and work environment.
You can also monitor and pick up ringing calls using Line Status indicators if your system
administrator has set up Line Status indicators on speed-dial buttons for you. Line Status indicators
allow you to see if a line associated with a speed-dial button is idle, in-use, in a Do Not Disturb state,
or ringing.

Product Safety, Security, Accessibility, and
Related Information
Safety and Performance Information
Power outages and other devices can affect your Cisco Unified IP Phone.
Power Outage
Your accessibility to emergency service through the phone is dependent on the phone being powered.
If there is an interruption in the power supply, Service and Emergency Calling Service dialing will not
function until power is restored. In the case of a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or
reconfigure equipment before using the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.
External Devices
Cisco recommends using good quality external devices (such as headsets) that are shielded 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 mobile phones
or two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur. In these cases, Cisco recommends that you take
one or more of these actions:
Move the external device away from the source of the RF or AF signals.
Route the external device cables away from the source of the RF or AF signals.
Use shielded cables for the external device, or use cables with a better shield and connector.
Shorten the length of the external device cable.
Apply ferrites or other such devices on the cables for the external device.
Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of the system because Cisco has no control over the quality
of external devices, cables, and connectors. The system will perform adequately when suitable devices
are attached using good quality cables and connectors.
Caution In European Union countries, use only external speakers, microphones, and headsets that
are fully compliant with the EMC Directive [89/336/EC].
92 OL-23119-01
EFT DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
Bluetooth Wireless Headset Performance
The Cisco Unified IP Phones 8941 and 8945 support Bluetooth Class 2 technology when the headsets
support Bluetooth. Bluetooth enables low-bandwidth wireless connections within a range of 30 feet
(10 meters). The best performance is in the 3- to 6-foot (1- to 2-meter) range. You can connect up to
five headsets, but only the last one connected is used as the default.
Because there can be potential interference issues, it is recommended that you move 802.11b/g devices,
Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, and large metal objects away from the wireless headset.
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.
FCC Compliance Statements
The Federal Communications Commission requires compliance statements for the following:
FCC Part 15.21
FCC RF Radiation Exposure
FCC Receivers and Class B Digital
FCC Part 15.21 Statement
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. This transmitter must be at least 20 cm from the user and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
