Features	Description
Messages	The phone offers direct access to voicemail with a single button touch.
Directories	The phone identifies incoming messages and categorizes them on the screen, allowing users to quickly and effectively return calls using direct dial-back capability.
Settings	The Settings feature key allows the user to adjust display contrast, select background images (if available), and select from a large number of unique ringer sounds through the User Preference menu.
Services	The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G has the ability to allow users to quickly access diverse information such as weather, stocks, quote of the day, or any Web-based information.
Services Help	The online Help feature gives users information about the phone keys, buttons, and features. The pixel display allows for greater flexibility of features and significantly expands the information viewed when using features such as Services, Information, Messages, and Directory. For example, the Directory button can show local- and server-based directory information.
Display	The phone has a large, high-resolution, graphical 12-bit color, touch-sensitive display, with backlighting to enhance its visual appearance (320 x 234 pixels).
Speakerphone, Mute, and Headset buttons	The phone offers high-quality speakerphone technology, including easy-to-use speaker On/Off, Microphone, Mute, and Headset buttons. These buttons are lit when active. For added security, the audible dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used.
Ethernet Switch	The internal 2-port Cisco Ethernet switch allows for a direct connection to a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network through an RJ-45 interface with single LAN connectivity for both the phone and a collocated PC. EPIK can designate separate VLANs (802.1Q) for the PC and Cisco Unified IP phones, providing improved security and reliability of voice and data traffic.
Headset Port	A dedicated headset port eliminates the need for a separate amplifier when using a headset. This feature allows the handset to remain in its cradle, making headset use simpler.
External speaker and microphone ports	3.5-mm stereo jacks are fitted to the phone for external speakers and an external microphone. The electrical and audio characteristics are similar to those fitted to many modern PCs.
Volume Control	The convenient Volume Control button on the phone provides for easy decibel-level adjustments for the speakerphone, handset, headset, and ringer. The handset is hearing aid-compatible (HAC).
Adjustable foot-stand	The phone foot-stand is adjustable from flat to 60 degrees to provide optimum display viewing and comfortable use of all buttons and keys. The foot-stand is keyed to match standard wall-jack configurations for wall mounting. Two optional wall-mount brackets are also offered, as noted later in this document.
Flexible Power Options	The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G supports IEEE 803.af PoE (Class III). The phone can also be powered locally with a power supply (CP-PWR-CUBE-3).
