Chapter 3

Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G Components

of outside sources, for example, electric lights, being near electric motors, large PC monitors. In some

cases, a hum experienced by a user may be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube. See the

“Safety” section on page 3-2

for more information.

Note

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G support wideband headsets.

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.

For information about headsets, refer to:

http://www.vxicorp.com/cisco

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. 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 window for the phone,

check the

Disable Speakerphone and Headset

check box.
