Headset Information
To use a headset, connect it to the headset port on the back of your phone.
Although Cisco Systems performs some internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the
Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors.
Because of the inherent environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where
Cisco Unified IP Phones are deployed, there is not a single "best" solution that is optimal for all
environments. Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets that work best in their environment
before deploying a large number of units in their network.
In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause remote parties to hear
an echo of their own voice when they speak to Cisco Unified IP Phone users.
Cisco Systems recommends the use of good quality external devices, like headsets that are 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 cell phones and two-way radios, some audio
noise may still occur. See the "Using External Devices" section on page 11 for more information.
