Important Note About Headset Types - Cisco 8961 Administration Manual

Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phone Components
When headsets are more than 30 feet (10 meters) away from the Cisco Unified IP Phone, Bluetooth drops
the connection after a 15- to 20-second timeout. If the paired headset comes back into range of the Cisco
Unified IP Phone and the phone is not connected to another Bluetooth headset, the in-range Bluetooth
headset automatically reconnects. For certain phone types that operate in power-save modes, the user
can "wake-up" the headset by tapping on the operational button to initiate the reconnect.

Important Note about Headset Types

Only one headset type works at any given time, so if you use both a Bluetooth headset and an analog
headset attached to the phone, enabling the Bluetooth headset disables the analog headset. To enable the
analog headset, disable the Bluetooth headset. Plugging a USB headset into a phone that has Bluetooth
headset enabled disables both the Bluetooth and analog headset. If you unplug the USB headset, then
you can either enable the Bluetooth headset or disable the Bluetooth headset to use the analog headset.
