Using a Headset with Your Phone
You can connect a headset to your VVX phone and use the headset to place and answer calls, handle all
calls using a headset, and use electronic hookswitch (EHS).
You can connect an analog headset to all VVX phones or a USB headset to VVX 401/411, 500/501, and
600/601 phones. You can also pair and connect a Bluetooth headset with your VVX 600/601 phone.
See Feature Profile 37477: Using Headsets with Polycom Phones on Polycom Support for a list of
compatible headsets.
Note: For information on your headset's features, as well as how to sync your headset with your phone,
see your headset's documentation.
Connecting a Headset
Your phone does the following when connected to analog and USB headsets:
• When an analog headset is connected and in use, the headset key glows green. Note that the
headset key does not glow on VVX 201 phones.
• When an USB headset is connected and in use, the headset key glows blue.
• When both an analog and USB headset are connected, the USB headset is used automatically for
all calls.
• When two USB headsets are connected, the headset you connected first is used automatically for
all calls.
