USB Headsets
You can use a USB headset for your calls if your phone has a USB port.
If your phone has more than one USB port, only one USB headset can be connected at a time.
For a list of supported headsets, see
Unified Communications Endpoint and Client
. USB headsets that are not listed may not function properly if you attach them to
the USB port. For more information, see the documentation from your USB headset
manufacturer.
Connect a USB Headset
When you use USB headsets with your phone, keep in mind:

is the active headset.

change automatically. You need to press the
Speakerphone
button or pick up
the handset.
•
If you are on an active call and unplug a USB headset, the audio changes
automatically to the speaker.
•
If you are on an active call and plug in a USB headset, the audio changes to the
