How to Install Cisco 980 Headset

• Unpack the headset and connect to your device using the appropriate connector (USB-C for most modern computers and devices, or the standard 3.5mm jack if your setup supports analog input). Ensure your device is powered on and ready to recognize audio accessories.
• Place the headband over your head and adjust the sliders to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Position the microphone boom so that it sits a few inches from your mouth and directs your voice toward the microphone for optimal pickup.
• Test the mute, volume, and call control buttons to confirm responsiveness. If your operating system prompts you to select an audio device, set the Cisco 980 as the default input and output device to ensure seamless audio routing during calls.
• Open your preferred UC platform or conferencing app and run a quick audio check. Verify that your voice and head audio are balanced, and adjust any platform-specific settings (like microphone boost or noise suppression) as needed for your environment.
• Keep the headset updated: check for firmware or companion software updates periodically to ensure compatibility with evolving collaboration tools and to benefit from any performance improvements or bug fixes.
