Starts at approximately 1/2 brightness, then changes to full brightness when the phone negotiates additional
power.
Note
When a phone is powered with a method that does not support full brightness for the phone screen, the phone
Brightness control (Settings > User Preferences > Brightness) does not allow you to set the brightness to
the maximum value.
Power Outage
Your access to emergency service through the phone requires the phone to receive power. If an interruption
in the power supply occurs, Service and Emergency Calling Service dialing do not function until power is
restored. In the case of a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure equipment before
you can use the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.

Phone Configuration Files
Phone configuration files are stored on the TFTP server and define Cisco Unified Communications Manager
connection parameters. In general, whenever you make a change in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
that requires the phone to reset, a change is made automatically to the phone configuration file.
