Headset base installation

Installation options

IMPORTANT: If you purchased model TL7611, or if you purchased a model TL7000 handset lifter (purchased separately), follow the installation instructions in the TL7000 handset lifter manual and then skip to page 12 of this manual.

If you purchased model TL7610 (without handset lifter), you have three installation options:

Option 1: Use the headset with a single standard telephone line with a corded or cordless telephone.

Option 2: Use the headset with a single standard telephone line as a stand-alone product.

Option 3: Use the headset with a multiple line corded telephone (such as the AT&T 1080, 1070, 1040) or a digital business system (such as a proprietary PBX telephone system).

Cord labels

The cords provided with your headset have colored labels attached to help you plug them into the headset base. The back of the headset base has colored dots above the jacks, and the jack names on the rear bottom plastic piece of the headset base that correspond to the colored labels on the cords.

If you are using installation option 3, you may attach the provided light blue colored label to the end of your telephone curly handset cord that you plug into the headset base.

Digital subscriber line (DSL)

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
