Connect the Footstand

If your phone is placed on a table or desk, connect the footstand to the back of the phone. The footstand sets
the phone at fixed angle and you cannot change the angle.
Procedure
Align the connectors with the slots and press firmly until the connectors snap into the slots.

Headsets

We perform internal testing of third-party headsets for use with Cisco IP Phones. But we do not certify or
support products from headset or handset vendors.
Headsets connect to your phone using the headset port or the auxiliary (AUX) port. Only the Cisco IP Phone
6851 Multiplatform Phones and the Cisco IP Phone 6861 Multiplatform Phones have an AUX port. Depending
upon your headset model, you have to adjust your phone's audio settings for the best audio experience, including
the headset sidetone setting.
Headset sidetone is the feedback you hear through a headset when you speak.
After you apply a new sidetone setting, wait one minute and then reboot the phone for the setting to be stored
in flash.
The phone reduces some background noise that a headset microphone detects. You can use a noise canceling
headset to further reduce the background noise and improve the overall audio quality.
We recommend the use of good quality external devices; for example, headsets that are screened against
unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals. Depending on the quality of headsets and
their proximity to other devices, such as mobile (cell) phones and two-way radios, some audio noise or echo
may still occur. Either the remote party or both the remote party and the Cisco IP Phone user may hear an
audible hum or buzz. A range of outside sources can cause humming or buzzing sounds; for example, electric
lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors.
Note
Sometimes, use of a local power cube or power injector may reduce or eliminate hum.
