Configure a Bluetooth Device on a Cisco IP

Phone 8800 Series Multiplatform Phone

Objective

The Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series Multiplatform Phones allow you to connect a mobile phone, an

analog headset, a Bluetooth headset, and a USB headset simultaneously to your phone. However,

you can use only one headset at a time. When you connect multiple headsets to your phone, you

can choose the primary audio device to use for a call. The primary audio path for a call is based

on the setting that is chosen for the preferred audio device.

The Cisco IP Phone can connect with up to 50 headsets, one at a time. The last connected

headset is used as the default. Pairing is typically performed once for each headset. After a device

is paired, the Bluetooth connection is maintained as long as both devices (phone and headset) are

enabled and within range of each other. The connection typically reestablishes itself automatically

if either of the devices powers down then powers up. However, some headsets require user action

to reestablish the connection.

The Bluetooth icon

is on irrespective of whether a device is connected or not. If you have both a Bluetooth headset

and a mobile device connected, you cannot use the Bluetooth headset to answer the audio from

the mobile device.

This article provides instructions on how to configure a mobile phone or a Bluetooth device on
