Audio Quality Subjective to the User

Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound
good to the user and the party on the far end. Sound is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the
performance of any headsets or handsets, but some of the headsets and handsets on the sites listed below
have been reported to perform well on Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Nevertheless, it is ultimately still the responsibility of customers to test this equipment in their
environments to determine suitable performance.

Connecting a Headset

To connect a 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 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.

Disabling a Headset

You can disable the headset through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
application. If you do so, you also will disable the speakerphone.
To disable the headset from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Device >
Phone and locate the phone that you want to modify. In the Phone Configuration web page for the phone,
check the Disable Speakerphone and Headset check box.
