Third-Party Accessories

Third-Party Accessories Overview

Accessories for the wireless phones are available from third parties.


Note

Cisco does not test third-party accessories. Cisco recommends that you test them in your environment before providing them to users.

Cisco does not endorse, support, or test third party cases or covers for the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 882x. Using your Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 with third party cases or covers may void your warranty.

Headsets

The wireless phone supports the use of third-party wired and Bluetooth wireless headsets.

For wired headsets, the phone requires a headset or ear bud with a 3.5 mm, 3-band, 4-conductor plug.

Bluetooth Wireless Headsets

Using Bluetooth wireless headsets increases battery power consumption on your phone and results in reduced talk time.

For a Bluetooth wireless headset to work, it does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the phone, but some barriers, such as walls or doors, and interference from other electronic devices, can affect the connection.

Headset Choices

The audio portion of a headset must sound good to you and the person you are speaking to. Sound is subjective and we cannot guarantee the performance of any headsets. Some of the headsets on the sites listed below have been reported to perform well on wireless IP Phones.

Note

We recommend that you test your headsets in your own environment to determine suitable performance.
