If you use a headset as your primary audio device, you might want to keep the
Headset button lit even after you end a call by clicking EndCall instead of the
Headset button to hang up. When the Headset button is not lit,

Cisco IP Communicator responds to softkeys, speed-dial buttons, and other
features by routing audio through the active mode.
