Note

Audio Quality

Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound good
to the user and to the party on the far end. Sound quality is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the
performance of any headsets. However, a variety of headsets from leading headset manufacturers have been
reported to perform well with Cisco Unified IP Phones.
For additional information, see the
Cisco.com.

Headset Connection

To connect a wired headset to the Cisco Unified IP Phone, plug it into the Headset port on the back of the
phone. Press the Headset button on the phone to place and answer calls using the headset.
You can use the wired headset with all of the features on the Cisco Unified IP Phone, including the Volume
and Mute buttons. Use these buttons to adjust the ear piece volume and to mute the speech path from the
headset microphone.
