Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phone Components

Once a device has been paired, its Bluetooth connection is maintained as long as both devices (phone and headset) are enabled and within range of each other. The connection typically re-establishes itself automatically if either of the devices powers down then powers up. However, some headsets require user action to re-establish the connection.

The Bluetooth icon indicates whether or not a device is connected.

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 may have to “wake-up” the headset by tapping on its operational button to initiate the reconnect.

•User guides that were provided with your headset

Important Note about Headset Types

Only one headset type will work at any given time, so if you have 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.
