Using the Cisco IPICS Service on a Cisco Unified IP Phone

for your Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921, Cisco recommends that you
maintain a backup battery for use with your phone. For more information
about the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921, refer to the Cisco Unified
IP Phone documentation that is available at the following URL:

You can customize the softkeys on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone
7920/7921 to enable direct access to the Services menu. For details, refer to

require any special configuration. A user can use either this button or the PTT
