Configuring the Avaya 1165E IP Deskphone
132
• If the base is powered off, the headset is only paired to the Avaya
1165E IP Deskphone, and you can press the telephone key to
connect to the Avaya 1165E IP Deskphone.
Note: Unless you need to dual pair a headset, operating the headset
with the Avaya 1165E IP Deskphone is simpler if the headset is only
used with its charging-only base. You should power off the desktop
telephone base, if it is not in use.
Interaction with wired headsets
If you connect a Bluetooth wireless technology headset and a wired
headset to the same Avaya 1165E IP Deskphone, the two interact as
follows:
• If a wireless headset is not paired, the wired headset works as
normal. Likewise, if a wireless headset is paired with a wired headset,
but the wireless headset is not in range, the wired headset works as
normal.
• If the Use BT headset checkbox is selected, the wireless headset is
used as the IP Deskphone headset.
The Bluetooth wireless technology headset can work only if it is within
range of the IP Deskphone. As the wireless headset approaches the edge
of its wireless range, the audio quality degrades, and radio interference
noise increases. When the wireless headset is in connecting range, the
Headset key controls the wireless headset, even if a wired headset is
attached. If a wireless headset moves out of connecting range, a special
beep sounds in the headset to indicate that the connection is lost.
When you do not want to use your Bluetooth technology headset
If a Bluetooth wireless technology headset is connected, and you want to
use the wired headset, you can switch between the two. It is not
necessary to unpair or disable the wireless headset.
You can switch between a wired and wireless headset and back again
when the IP Deskphone is idle or during an active call.
