Cisco IP Communicator Features
Cisco IP Communicator functions much like a traditional telephone, allowing you to place and receive
phone calls, put calls on hold, speed dial numbers, transfer calls, and so on. Cisco IP Communicator

and customize your call-handling capabilities.
In addition to call-handling features, Cisco IP Communicator supports:
• An Audio Tuning Wizard
• Quick Search directory dialing
• Easy access to your User Options web pages and phone services
• A comprehensive online help system
• An optional skin to change the look of Cisco IP Communicator
For an overview of Cisco IP Communicator components, see the “Using the Cisco IP Communicator
