Identifying Error Messages

OL-10969-01
If the phone proceeds past the first stage of the startup process (LED buttons
flashing on and off) but displays error messages on the LCD screen, the phone is
not starting up properly. The phone cannot successfully start up unless it is
connected to the Ethernet network and it has registered with a
Cisco Unified CallManager server.
