Wired Headsets

A wired headset works with all Cisco IP Phone features, including the Volume and Mute
buttons. These buttons adjust the earpiece volume and mute the audio from the headset
microphone.
When you install a wired headset, make sure you press the cable into the channel in the phone.
Failure to press the cable into the channel in the phone can lead to cable damage.

Wireless Headsets

You can use most wireless headsets with your phone. For a list of supported wireless headsets,
see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/unified-
communications/uc_endpoints_accessories.html.
Refer to your wireless headset documentation for information about connecting the headset and
using the features.

Standard Headsets

You can use a standard headset with your desk phone. Standard headsets plug into the back of
the phone with an RJ-type connecter.
