Accessibility Features for the Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series

The Cisco IP Phones 8811, 8841, 8845, 8851, 8851NR, 8861, and 8865 provide accessibility features for the

blind, and the visually, hearing, and mobility impaired. Because many of these features are standard, they can

be used by users with disabilities without requiring any special configuration.

In this document, the term phone support pages refers to the web pages that users can access to set up certain

features. For Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Release 10.0 and later), these pages are the Self Care

Portal. For Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Release 9.1 and earlier), these pages are the User Options

web pages.

For additional information, see the phone User Guide, located here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/

Cisco is committed to designing and delivering accessible products and technologies to meet the needs of

your organization. You can find more information about Cisco and its commitment to accessibility at this
