Using a Headset

If you use a headset, you can set up your phone so that all calls use your headset. You can also use the hookswitch button on your headset to place, answer, and end calls.

If headsets are deployed in high static environments where users frequently disconnect and re-connect the headset to the phone, it is possible that the phone can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

You should take precautions to avoid excessive static buildup in your environment. This can include humidity control and removal of synthetic materials near the phone location. Antistatic spray applied to carpets in the workplace can reduce the level of static buildup.

To activate Headset Memory Mode:

>>Press twice.
