Cisco recommends 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 these devices and their proximity to other devices such as mobile phones and two-way radios, some audio noise or echo may still occur. An audible hum or buzz may be heard by either the remote party or by both the remote party and the Cisco Unified IP Phone user. Humming or buzzing sounds can be caused by a range of outside sources: for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors. See Using External Devices, page 3 for more information. Note In some cases, hum may be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube or power injector. These environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are deployed means that there is not a single headset solution that is optimal for all environments. Cisco recommends that customers test headsets in their intended environment to determine performance before making a purchasing decision and deploying en masse. 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 to the party on the far end. Sound quality is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of any headsets. However, a variety of headsets from leading headset manufacturers have been reported to perform well with Cisco Unified IP Phones. See manufacturer's sites for details.

Cisco recommends 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

these devices and their proximity to other devices such as mobile phones and two-way radios, some

audio noise or echo may still occur. An audible hum or buzz may be heard by either the remote party

or by both the remote party and the Cisco Unified IP Phone user. Humming or buzzing sounds can be

caused by a range of outside sources: for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors.

See

Using External Devices, page 3

for more information.

Note

In some cases, hum may be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube or power

injector.

These environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are

deployed means that there is not a single headset solution that is optimal for all environments.

Cisco recommends that customers test headsets in their intended environment to determine

performance before making a purchasing decision and deploying en masse.

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 to the party on the far end. Sound quality is subjective and Cisco cannot

guarantee the performance of any headsets. However, a variety of headsets from leading headset

manufacturers have been reported to perform well with Cisco Unified IP Phones. See manufacturer’s

sites for details.

hookswitch control feature, got to the following URL:
