To clean your headset, use only a dry soft cloth to gently wipe the ear pads, microphone, and headset base. Do not apply liquids or powders directly to the headset. As with all non-weatherproof electronics, liquids and powders can damage the components, cause failures, and will void the headset warranty.

The Cisco Headset 560 Series includes two wireless headset models designed for use in a modern office space. The Cisco Headset 561 features a single earpiece for lightweight comfort and support. The Cisco Headset 562 offers dual ear cups for rich sound and comfort in a noisy office space. To use this series, you need either the standard base or the multibase. The bases plug into the call device and facilitate communication with the headset.
Each headset base has a default range of approximately 145 feet (45 meters) unless there are physical barriers such as walls and doors or outside interference from other DECT radio sources. Your administrator can increase your headset range up to approximately 330 feet (100 meters). A headset will unpair from its base if it's taken too far away. The base light turns solid white when it's paired to the headset, and flashes when it isn't.
Seat your headset in the base when the battery is low. It takes 3 hours for a battery to complete a full charge.

The standard base charges your headset and has LEDs that shows your headset's battery level and call state. You can also answer and end calls when you lift or place your headset on the base.
The standard base comes with the following connector cables:
-
USB to USB Cable: for devices with USB connectivity
-
USB Y-Cable: for Cisco IP Phones without a USB port
-
USB-A to USB-C Cable: available separately for PC or Mac devices.
The following table describes the standard base.

The multibase can connect up to three call sources through Bluetooth, the USB connector, or the Y-cable. The multibase can save up to four Bluetooth devices. You can switch between call sources using the buttons on the multibase. You use the call control buttons on the headset to answer and end calls. When your headset is in the base, you automatically answer the call when you remove the headset from the base. You can return the headset to the base to end the call.
The multibase comes with the following connector cables:
-
USB to USB Cable: for Cisco IP Phones with USB connectivity
-
USB Y-Cable: for Cisco IP Phones without a USB port
-
Mini USB Cable: for PC or Mac.

You select which call source you want to use with the call source controls on the Multibase. The LED next to each selected source lights up when you select the source.
Even if you are connected to a source, the LED may not be lit. The source LED only lights when the source is selected or has an active call. For example, you may be properly connected to a Cisco IP Phone, your PC, and your mobile phone through Bluetooth. However, the respective source LED is only lit when it is selected, has an active call, or has an incoming call. Press the source button to check if a source is properly connected. The source LED flashes three times if there is no connection.
You can alternate between active call sources.
 |
Place an active call on hold before you change to a different call source. Calls on one call source aren't automatically put on hold when you switch to a different call source. |
The following table illustrates the multibase source icons and their corresponding connections.
|
Base Icon |
Connection |
||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
 USB to USB cord or Y-Cable The desk phone icon corresponds with the middle USB port at the back of the multibase. It is intended for connecting to Cisco IP Phones but it will function properly with any compatible call device.
|
||
 |
 Micro-USB cord The laptop icon corresponds with the micro-USB port found on the back of the multibase. The micro-USB port is intended for connections with a laptop or desktop computer. |
||
 |
 The mobile phone icon corresponds with the Bluetooth connection found at the back of the base. While the icon is of a mobile phone, the base will connect with any compatible Bluetooth call device. The multibase can save and remember up to four Bluetooth call devices. If you are listening to music through the Bluetooth source, the music pauses when you place the headset on the base. |
