Bluetooth and Your Phone
Note
: Bluetooth is for Cisco IP Phone 8851 only.
If your phone supports Bluetooth, use a Bluetooth headset and connect your mobile phone or
tablet to the phone.
Bluetooth connections work best when you're within 3 to 6 feet from your phone, but you might
be able to be as far away as 66 feet. The Bluetooth connection can degrade if you have a
barrier (wall, door, window), large metal object, or other electronic devices between your phone
and the connected device.
To connect a mobile device or headset to your phone with Bluetooth, pair the device with your
phone. You can pair up to three devices. If you try to pair more than three devices, you are
prompted to delete one device.
After the headset or mobile device is paired, the phone connects to the headset or mobile
device when the headset or mobile device is turned on.
When you pair a device, you can set the Bluetooth mode to Phone, Handsfree or Both. Phone
allows you to use only a Bluetooth headset. Handsfree allows you to use only your mobile
phone. Both allows you to use both a headset and a mobile phone.
When you use a Bluetooth headset and mobile devices with your phone, remember:
•
The last Bluetooth headset or mobile device connected with the phone is the
default device that the phone uses.
•
You can have only one active connection at any time. For example, you can
have a Bluetooth headset or a mobile phone active.
•
The phone supports one device of each type. For example, you cannot connect
two Bluetooth headsets.
•
You can connect one mobile device at any time. For example, if your Bluetooth
headset is active, and you connect a mobile phone, the Bluetooth headset
disconnects.
•
Your Bluetooth device will reconnect if you move back into range, or if it
restarts.
Energy Savings
Your administrator can reduce the amount of power that the phone screen uses when you're not
using your phone. Level of energy-saving that your administrator can set up:
•
Power Save: The backlight or screen turns off when the phone has been
inactive for a time.
•
When your phone is powered off to save energy, the phone screen is blank.
Turn On Your Phone
Press any key to turn on the phone.
