Using a Phone Headset

You can connect a phone headset for hands-free operation.

Important

If driving while using a phone is permitted in your area, we recommend using a headset or a hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be aware that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear other sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle may create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be illegal. If you must use a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises, and use the headset only if it is legal and you can do so safely.

Most headsets have a context-sensitive button that may perform different actions based on the situation. (Check the documentation that came with your headset for details.) You usually press the headset button to perform tasks such as:

⬤Answering an incoming call.

⬤Responding to call waiting.

⬤Hanging up a single active call or both calls on a conference call if there is no extracted call.

⬤Swapping between calls if there is one active call and one call on hold.

Headset Specifications

Here are tips for selecting a headset compatible with your Treo Pro smartphone:

⬤Your device works with headsets that have a 3.5mm connector (look for three colored bands on the plug). When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is compatible with your device.

⬤If you hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible with your Treo Pro smartphone.

⬤Headsets designed for a previous Treo Pro smartphone are not compatible with the Treo Pro smartphone.
