Using a Headset with Your Phone
You can connect a headset to your VVX phone and use the headset to place and answer calls, handle all
calls using a headset, and use electronic hookswitch (EHS).
You can connect an analog or USB headset to VVX 250, 350, and 450 phones.

Note: For information on your headset's features, as well as how to sync your headset with your phone,
see your headset's documentation.

Connecting a Headset

Your phone does the following when connected to analog and USB headsets:
• When an analog headset is connected and in use, the headset key glows green.
• When an USB headset is connected and in use, the headset key glows blue.
• When both an analog and USB headset are connected, the USB headset is used automatically for
all calls.
• When two USB headsets are connected, the headset you connected first is used automatically for
all calls.
After you connect a headset to your phone, you can set up your phone to use the headset automatically
when answering and placing calls.
