To see these settings, choose Settings > Device Configuration and scroll to the Idle URL and the Idle URL Time parameters. Automatically Disabling the Cisco Unified IP Phone Screen To conserve power and ensure the longevity of the LCD screen on the phone, you can set the LCD to turn off when it is not needed. You can configure settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to turn off the display at a designated time on some days and all day on other days. For example, you may choose to turn off the display after business hours on weekdays and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. When the display is off, the LCD screen is dark and disabled, and the Display button lights. You can take any of these actions to turn on the display any time it is off: • Press any button on the phone. If you press a button other than the Display button, the phone will take the action designated by that button in addition to turning on the display. • Touch the touchscreen (or phone screen, whichever is applicable). • Lift the handset. When you turn the display on, it remains on until the phone has remained idle for a designated length of time, then it turns off automatically. Note You can use the Display button to temporarily disable the touchscreen (or phone screen) for cleaning. See Cleaning the Cisco Unified IP Phone, page 9-20 for more information. Note The XSI Screen Width Enhancement feature, when implemented on Cisco Unified IP Phones, enhances the viewability of the Messages, Directories, and Services screens. These screens may appear in Normal mode or in Wide mode, depending on how the phone is set up. For information, see Cisco Unified IP Phone Services Application Development Notes. Table 6-1 explains the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration fields that control when the display turns on and off. You configure these fields in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration in the Product Specific configuration window. (You access this window by choosing Device > Phone from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.) You can view the display settings for a phone from the Power Save Configuration menu on the phone. For more information, see Power Save Configuration Menu, page 4-29.
