Use a Phone Headset
You can connect the headset that came with your phone for hands-free operation.
Use a Wired Headset
Your phone works with headsets that have a 3.5mm connector (look for three colored bands
on the plug). When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is
compatible with your phone. If you hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance,
your headset may be incompatible with your phone.
1. Connect the headset. (While on a call, the icon changes to .)
2. The headset button performs different actions depending on what’s happening on the
phone. Press the headset button once to perform any of the following tasks:
Answer an incoming call.
Respond to call waiting.
Hang up a single active call or all calls on a conference call.
3. If you want to stop using the headset, do any of the following:
Switch from the headset to your phone’s speakerphone: Tap and tap Speaker.
Switch from the wired headset to a previously paired Bluetooth
®
hands-free
device: Tap and tap the device name.
WARNING
If driving while using a phone is permitted in your area, we recommend
using a headset or hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be aware
that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear other
sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle may create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be
illegal. If you must use a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in
only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises, and use the
headset only if it is legal and you can do so safely. See “Driving Safety” on
page 314 for more information.
