Phone Accessories and Computer Applications

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 601 phones or a USB headset. You can also pair and connect a
Bluetooth headset with your VVX 601 phone.
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.

Reactivate Headset Memory Mode

Switching to the speakerphone or the handset deactivates Headset Memory Mode.
