Headsets

The wireless phone supports the use of third-party wired and Bluetooth wireless headsets.
For wired headsets, the phone requires a headset or ear bud with a 3.5 mm, 3-band, 4-conductor plug.
Bluetooth Wireless Headsets
Using Bluetooth wireless headsets increases battery power consumption on your phone and results in reduced
talk time.
For a Bluetooth wireless headset to work, it does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the phone, but
some barriers, such as walls or doors, and interference from other electronic devices, can affect the connection.
Headset Choices
The audio portion of a headset must sound good to you and the person you are speaking to. Sound is subjective
and we cannot guarantee the performance of any headsets. Some of the headsets on the sites listed below have
been reported to perform well on wireless IP Phones.
