Connecting to a Standard Headset Port

Figure 10: Connecting to a desk phone with a headset port

If your desk phone includes a dedicated headset port, then take advantage of this feature by connecting the Jabra GO base as follows:

1.Connect the telephone cord included with your headset from the port marked on the Jabra GO base to the headset port on your desk-phone body. See your desk-phone documentation if you are not sure where

this port is. If the supplied cord does not fit the port of your desk-phone, then see “Connecting to a Proprietary Headset Port,” below.

2. Your base and desk phone are now connected. Note, however, that you must still configure the base for your specific desk-phone model using the desk phone setup wizard. See the section “Configuring the Jabra GO Base for your Desk Phone”.

Note: Do not connect the base to a dedicated headset port if you want to use a GN1000; connect it inline with the handset instead (see also “Connecting to a Desk Phone without a Headset Port,” above). One reason to use the GN1000 instead of the headset port is that the GN1000 has a ring detector, thereby enabling the base and headset to target (see also the “Target Phone Concept” section) the desk phone automatically when it rings (many electronic-hookswitch solutions also provide ring detection).

Connecting to a Proprietary Headset Port

Some types of desk phones provide a nonstandard headset port. This is usually part of an advanced solution that also provides an electronic hookswitch. These types of phones normally also include the standard handset ports described above, but you should consider taking advantage of the proprietary connection if possible.

To use this type of connection, you must purchase a special adapter designed to match the requirements of your desk phone and headset. The adapter comes with instructions for how to connect it. See also Section 4.6: Using a Handset Lifter or Electronic Hookswitch for more information about this type of solution.
