Headset Sidetone
Level
Enables administrators to configure a higher
sidetone level for user headsets on these Cisco
Unified IP Phones 7941G, 7941G-GE, 7961G, and
7961G-GE:
• High—Increases the voice level played back
in the headset, which encourages a lower
speaking voice and is desirable in
environments such as call centers.
• Use Phone Default—Maintains the existing
voice level played back in the headset.
While some users prefer the higher voice level in
the headset, other users may find the level to be
uncomfortable or they may hear an echo. In this
case, administrators should return the setting to
Use Phone Default.
Typically, only call centers should use the High
setting with the higher voice level played back in
the headset.
To configure the parameter in the Cisco
Unified CM Administration application,
choose Device > Phone, select the appropriate
IP Phones, and scroll to the Product Specific
Configuration Layout pane.
Help system Provides a comprehensive set of topics that appear
on the phone screen
Requires no configuration.
Hold/Resume Allows the user to move a connected call from an
active state to a held state.
• Requires no configuration, unless you
want to use music on hold. See

information.
• See Hold Reversion in this table.
