Webex Wireless Phone 840 and 860

The Webex Wireless Phone 840 and 860 are wireless smartphones. These phones provide voice communication
over your organization's wireless network using Cisco Unified Communications Manager and access points
(APs). They work within the Wi-Fi range set by your organization.
Like other devices powered by Android, your phone is app-driven, not menu-driven. You tap icons to open
applications. Your phone includes several different Cisco apps that allow you to:
• Place and receive phone calls.
• Put calls on hold.
• Transfer calls.
• Have conference calls.
• Forward your calls.
• Monitor your phone battery life.
• Customize your phone buttons.
• If configured, provide emergency safety features such as alarms and motion monitoring.
• If configured, send group broadcasts.
Like other network devices, system administrators configure and manage these phones. Based on the needs
of your organization, administrators may limit certain features that may be available on consumer-grade
Android devices.
