Initiating Pairing from the Cisco SPA525G2
The Cisco SPA525G2 connects to one Bluetooth device at a time. If multiple

Bluetooth Configuration > Bluetooth Profiles list is used, and the device with a 
higher priority is activated first.
To pair a Bluetooth device with the IP phone:

section on page 50.
STEP  2Press the Setup button.
STEP  3Scroll to User Preferences and press Select.

this option if you do not use the IP phone with a Bluetooth–enabled mobile 
phone.

mobile phone or a Bluetooth headset. 
STEP  6Scroll to Bluetooth Profiles and press the Right Arrow key to enter the profile 
screen.

Initiating Pairing from Your Bluetooth-Enabled Mobile Phone
The procedure varies depending on your phone model. You must turn Bluetooth 
on, and it might be necessary to configure a separate setting to make your mobile 
phone discoverable by other devices. 
Before starting, it is helpful to find the MAC address of your Cisco SPA525G2 IP 
phone. Go to the Setup menu and select Status > Product Information. The MAC 
address is listed. 
The following procedure uses an Apple iPhone as an example:
STEP 1On your iPhone, click Settings.
STEP  2Under General, choose Bluetooth. Verify that Bluetooth is turned on.
STEP  3In the Bluetooth Window, under Devices, find the MAC address of your 
Cisco SPA525G2 IP phone. 
STEP  4Select the MAC address of the Cisco SPA525G2.
STEP  5Enter the PIN (the default is 0000) and press Connect.
When paired with your mobile phone, the Cisco SPA525G2 display screen 
assigns one of your line buttons to the mobile phone. A mobile phone icon with a 
flashing lightning bolt icon is displayed next to the mobile phone name, number, or 
other identifier (such as the phone model) for your phone.
The name, number, or other identifier shown depends on what is configured on 
your mobile phone. If you have not configured a name on your paired phone, the 
phone might display your phone number or some other identifier (such as the 
phone model). The display name can vary, depending on your phone model and 
configuration.
Verifying that the Cisco SPA525G2 is Paired 
The Bluetooth phone icon colors show the status of your mobile phone and/or the 
Cisco SPA525G2:
•No icon—Bluetooth is disabled
•Gray icon— Bluetooth is enabled, but the phones are not connected.
•Blue icon—Bluetooth is enabled and the Cisco SPA525G2 is connected to a

Making a Mobile Phone Call through the Cisco SPA525G2
When you make a mobile phone call by using your Cisco SPA525G2, your 
Cisco SPA525G2 acts as a handsfree device for your phone. The call is made 
through your mobile phone, but the audio is present on and the call control is done 
by using the Cisco SPA525G2. (See “Switching Audio from Your 
Cisco SPA525G2 to Your Mobile Phone” section on page 55.)
To make a call through a mobile phone:
STEP 1Press the line button associated with your mobile phone (the line button is marked 
with a mobile phone icon with a flashing lightning bolt).
STEP  2Do one of the following:
•Enter a number on the dial pad and press Dial.
•Press the Setup button and select Directories. Choose a number and press 
Dial.
•Scroll to recently-called number and press Select.
NOTEYou probably do not dial a digit to reach an outside line on your mobile phone. If you 
usually enter a digit before dialing (such as 9) to reach an outside line from the 
Cisco SPA525G2 when it is not paired with a mobile phone, it might not be 
necessary to do so when calling through your mobile phone; follow the usual 
process for making calls on your mobile phone.
The outgoing call appears on both your Cisco SPA525G2 and your mobile phone 
display. The Cisco SPA525G2 displays an off-hook icon next to the mobile phone 
display name.
After the call is connected, the icon next to the mobile phone display shows that 
the call is established. The audio goes through the Cisco SPA525G2, although the 
mobile phone display also shows a connected call.
The layout and options shown on your phone screen might differ slightly, 
depending on the type of phone system to which your Cisco SPA525G2 is 
connected.

your IP phone, you must load the audio files onto a USB memory device (not

that directory.

STEP  4Press the Setup button.
STEP  5Scroll to MP3 Player and press Select.
