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.

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.
