Each USB port supports the connection of up to five supported and nonsupported devices. Each device
connected to the phone is included in the maximum device count. For example, your phone can support
five USB devices (such as three Cisco Unified IP Color Key Expansion modules, one hub, and one other
standard USB device) on the side port and five additional standard USB devices on the back port. Many
third-party USB products count as multiple USB devices, for example, a device containing USB hub and
headset can count as two USB devices. For more information, see the USB device documentation.

Note

Wireless Connection and Bluetooth

Your phone can be connected to a wireless network using 802.11a or 802.11b/g, but your system administrator
sets up the connection. For more information, contact your system administrator.

Your phone supports Bluetooth Class 2 technology when the headsets support Bluetooth. You can pair and
connect up to five Bluetooth headsets to your phone, but the last Bluetooth headset connected becomes the
default for use with the phone.

Buttons and Hardware

Your phone provides quick access to your phone lines, features, and call sessions:
