Using a Headset

Although Cisco Systems performs some internal testing of third-party headsets
for use with the Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco does not certify or support
products from headset or handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental
and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are
deployed, there is not a single “best” solution that is optimal for all environments.
Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets that work best in their
environment before deploying a large number of units in their network.

In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause
remote parties to hear an echo of their own voice when they speak to Cisco
Unified IP Phone users.

Cisco Systems recommends the use of good quality external devices, like 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 cell phones and two-way radios, some audio noise may still
occur. See the

“Using External Devices with Your Cisco Unified IP Phone”

section on page 3-22

for more information.

The primary reason that support of a headset would be inappropriate for an
installation is the potential for an audible hum. This hum can either be heard by
the remote party or by both the remote party and the Cisco Unified IP Phone user.
