Disabling a Headset

You can disable the headset by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. If you do
so, you also will disable the speakerphone.

Phone and locate the phone that you want to modify. In the Phone Configuration window for the phone,
check the Disable Speakerphone and Headset check box.

for Headset Hookswitch Control.
On the phone, you can verify that the feature is enabled by choosing Settings > Device Configuration
> Media Configuration and verifying that the Wireless Headset Hookswitch Control is set to Enabled.

Using External Devices

The following information applies when you use external devices with the Cisco Unified IP Phone:
Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices that are shielded (screened) against
unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals.
Depending on the quality of these devices and their proximity to other devices such as mobile phones or
two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur. In these cases, Cisco recommends that you take one
or more of the following actions:
•
•
•
•
•
Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of the system because Cisco has no control over the quality of
external devices, cables, and connectors. The system will perform adequately when suitable devices are
attached using good quality cables and connectors.
In European Union countries, use only external headsets that are fully compliant with the EMC Directive
Caution
[89/336/EC].

Installing the Cisco Unified IP Phone

You must connect the Cisco Unified IP Phone to the network and to a power source before using it. See
Figure 3-2
