Does Bluetooth override the phone?

Just got a Motorola v325i about 2 weeks ago -- there have been several times when my phone has rang and, when I've picked it up using the actual handset and not the Bluetooth headset, I've been unable to hear the person on the other end.

But if I hit the green call button on my phone, it'll transfer back to my phone?

If your headset is powered on the default is that it will automatically connect and voice sounds will be routed to your bluetooth. You can press and hold the multifunction key and power off the bluetooth or you should be able to hit the menu key in phone call and one command should be "use handset" instead of "use bluetooth".

I don't know if this is what you have but maybe this will help. Yes, tap the green answer key on your phone to switch from headset to phone. You may need to tap twice.
