My headset will not pair with the desk phone or headset base

With a Bluetooth or DECT headset it is usually pair mode or the wrong channel.

Try this first

  1. 1Put the headset in pairing mode (often: long-press a button until the LED flashes). Follow the manual for your exact model.
  2. 2On the desk phone: menu > Bluetooth settings > scan for new connection.
  3. 3DECT headset (Jabra/Plantronics): press 'pair' on the base until the LED blinks, then on the headset.
  4. 4Remove old pairings from the headset if it was previously paired elsewhere; many headsets remember only one.
  5. 5If the desk phone has no Bluetooth, use the included DECT dongle or a USB headset.

When to bring us in

If pairing works but signal drops in a specific part of the office, DECT interference or Wi-Fi overlap may be the cause; that warrants a site survey.
