Bluetooth Wireless Headset and Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience
Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience phones support Bluetooth wireless headsets.
The Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience phone uses a shared key authentication and encryption method
to connect with headsets. The Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience can connect with up to five headsets
at a time. The last connected headset is used as the default. Pairing is typically performed once for each
headset.
After a device is paired, the Bluetooth connection is maintained as long as both devices (phone and headset)
are enabled and within range of each other. The connection typically reestablishes itself automatically if either
of the devices powers down then powers up. However, some headsets require user action to reestablish the
connection.
The Bluetooth icon on the status bar indicates that Bluetooth is on.
When headsets are more than 30 feet (10 meters) away from the Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience,
Bluetooth drops the connection after a 15- to 20-second timeout. If the paired headset comes back into range
of the Cisco Unified IP Phone and the phone is not connected to another Bluetooth headset, the in-range
Bluetooth headset automatically reconnects. For certain phone types that operate in power-save modes, the
user can wake up the headset by tapping on the operational button to initiate the reconnect.
You must enable the headset and then add it as a phone accessory by using the following procedures.

Add Bluetooth Wireless Headset as Phone Accessory

Communications Manager.
