Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G
Installing the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G
Use U-APSD for talk-time power save mode. Also 5 GHz talk time is reduced up to 30 min for standard
and up to 2 hours for extended. Use of 802.11b/g and a Bluetooth headset can reduce the talk time by
40-50 percent. To extend talk-time battery life, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G can use
PS-POLL power save methods. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G will use either U-APSD or
PS-POLL when in idle (no active phone call).
When an AP supports the Cisco Client Extensions (CCX) proxy ARP information element, the idle
battery life is optimized. If the AP does not support CCX or proxy ARP is not enabled, then the idle
battery life is up to fifty percent less.
Table 3-4 shows the charging time for the two types of batteries. You can stop charging the battery when
the battery is fully charged. Lithium ion batteries can be partially charged without shortening the battery
life. Batteries should handle up to 4000 recharges.
Note Battery life varies because of environmental factors and Bluetooth use.
