Using Bluetooth

Have new IPAQ 6315 and Actionet bluetooth headset. A wonderful thing.

Question: I don't want to wear the headset in order to hear the phone
ring. It seems if I set my IPAQ to use the headset for phone sounds,
that includes the phone ring, and the phone won't ring "out loud" -
just rings in the headset. So I turn the headset off. When the phone
rings, I turn the heaset on, then answer the call, then put it in my
ear... and that takes seconds away from the incoming caller, who might
hang up, or I might miss the call altogether.

Am I missing something? Can I have the IPAQ ring "out loud" with the
headset powered on? Is that an IPAQ, Actionet, or 'given' issue?

Thank you.

Never mind - I didn't have the volume on the IPAQ loud enough. I can
indeed hear the phone ring on the IPAQ and in the headset.

Thank you.
