Phone Startup Process

After the Cisco Unified IP Phone has power connected to it, the phone begins the startup diagnostic process,
by cycling through the following steps.
1 The Feature and Sessions buttons flash amber and then green in sequence during the various stages of
bootup as the phone checks the hardware.
2 The main screen displays Registering to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
If the phone completes these stages successfully, it has started up properly and the Select button stays lit until
it is selected.
