Phone 8800 Series Multiplatform Phone
Objective
The Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series Multiplatform Phones allow you to pair your mobile device
such as phone or tablet through Bluetooth. This connection allows you to make and answer
phone calls on either the mobile device or the IP Phone. This ability to use the mobile line on
your IP phone is called Intelligent Proximity.
To configure a mobile device on your IP Phone, you have to configure the Bluetooth settings
first. The Bluetooth icon on the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the phone indicates that
Bluetooth is on irrespective of whether a device is connected or not. To learn how to
