Installation options

Headset base and handset lifter installation

You have three installation options:

Option 1: Connect the handset lifter to a corded phone (pages 16- 23). This option enables you to answer calls even if you are away from the telephone base.

For this option, you can use the headset with a single line or multiple line corded telephone (such as the AT&T 1080, 1070 or 1040) or a digital business system (such as a proprietary PBX telephone system). The handset lifter (lifter) works with the cordless headset to provide a complete communication solution for most corded telephones. The lifter raises and lowers its switch hook presser to answer, make and end phone calls. The ring detector provides an incoming call indication through the cordless headset, so you can answer calls even when you are away from the telephone base.

Option 2: Connect the headset to a telephone wall jack (page 24). This option enables you to use the headset with a single telephone line with or without a telephone.

Option 3: Connect the headset to a corded or cordless telephone (page 25). You can use the provided line splitter to connect the headset to a telephone.
