headset from the list.
Changing the audio option while using a Bluetooth headset
• If you press the Speaker soft key while using a Bluetooth headset, you get a shortcut menu
enabling you to redirect audio through another audio path instead of the Bluetooth headset.
• If you turn off the Bluetooth headset without ending the call, the audio will be routed to the next
active audio option.
Setting Bluetooth volume:
Use the volume adjustment buttons on the headset to increase or decrease call volume.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
Radio frequency can interfere with some hearing aids. Your handset has a hearing aid compatibility
mode that adjusts the frequency response for users who have hearing aids equipped with telecoil
inductive pickups. Acoustic pickup hearing aids will not respond to this adjustment.
To view the current status of the Hearing Aid Compatibility feature and to enable or disable this feature,
navigate to Settings > Basic Settings > Hearing Aid Compat…. Enable or disable as needed.
Handset Registration
Generally, your handset will be deployed with multiple other handsets. In this case, your system
administrator will configure the handset parameters beforehand so that when you turn your handset
on, the handset will register with the system and be ready to use.
