I have no idea. You could always google it and read the manual. However 
I've done this for you (I'll send the bill shortly).

It looks like it's designed as a generic office user type phone rather 
than for reception type use.

it says:

   "The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940G is well suited for employees in a
   basic office cubicle environment--such as transaction type workers--who
   conduct a moderate amount of business by phone."
