Installing Telephones and Adjuncts

Headsets

For MLX telephones, the headset base unit plugs into the telephone handset jack, which means that the headset will be used in place of the handset.

For analog telephones, you can connect the headset in one of the following ways:

Connect the headset base unit directly into the handset jack (to use the headset in place of the handset).

Connect the headset base unit to a 502C adapter, which connects to the OTHER jack on an analog multiline telephone (to allow the use of both handset and headset, as desired. The base unit provides the capability for switching back and forth.)

Four telephone headsets are now available:

The StarSet® Headset has a single ear tip and is worn without a headband.

The Mirage® Headset has a single disk-shaped receiver and is worn without a headband:

The Supra® Headset has a single disk-shaped receiver and a headband.

The Supra NC® Headset has two disk-shaped receivers and a headband.

Each headset comes with a 10-ft (305-cm) coiled cord and a

Quick-Disconnect latch.

The following amplifiers operate in conjunction with the headsets described above:

Modular Amplifier — connects the StarSet, Mirage, Supra, and Supra NC to any telephone equipped with a modular handset.

Plug Prong Amplifier — connects the StarSet, Mirage, Supra, and

Supra NC to a non-MLX telephone equipped with a headset adapter and to many automatic call distributors.

Both amplifiers have volume and mute controls.
