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 headset to all VVX 411 phones or a USB headset.
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.
Note:
If your phone does not detect the USB headset when you attach it to your phone, the USB port on
your phone may be disabled. Contact your system administrator.
Use Your Headset for All Calls
You can set up your phone so that all incoming and outgoing calls automatically use your
headset. To use this feature, you must enable and activate Headset Memory Mode
1. Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Headset > Headset Memory.
2. From the Headset Memory Mode screen, select Enabled.
3. Press the headset key twice.
The headset key flashes to indicate that Headset Memory Mode is now activated. All
calls placed or answered on your phone use your headset automatically.
Note: If you or your contacts experience audio or echo issues during calls, such as feedback of
your voice or of their own voice, you need to enable echo cancellation on your phone.
