Headset
Issue Resolutions
I can’t hear a dial tone in the
headset.
● Make sure your headset is charged.
● Make sure your headset is paired to base. See Pair
headset to base on page 8.
● Adjust the configuration switch (A--F) on the bottom of the
base until a dial tone is heard. The default A works for
most phones.
Use configuration D for Cisco phones. Cisco phones
connected with EHS cable use configuration A.
● Make sure your desk phone is connected correctly to your
base. See Desk phone setup details on page 1.
● If your base is connected to your desk phone's dedicated
headset port, press the desk phone's headset button to
hear a dial tone.
● If your base is connected to your desk phone's dedicated
headset port, press the desk phone's headset button
and base's desk phone
button to hear a dial tone.
● If your base is connected to your handset port, manually
remove the handset to hear a dial tone (if you do not have
an EHS cable or HL10 lifter).
● Make sure your HL10 lifter is lifting the handset high
enough to operate the hookswitch; set to a higher setting
if necessary.
● Adjust the headset's listening volume. See Adjust volume
on page 14.
● If the volume is still too low, adjust the desk phone
listening volume on the base. See Adjust volume on page
14.
Can I connect my headset to a
mobile phone and the base at the
same time?
Yes, your headset remembers up to 8 devices, but connect to
up to 2 devices at a time. That includes your base.
I hear static. ● Make sure there is at least 12 inches between your base
and your computer, and 6 inches between your base and
your telephone. If adjusting the distance doesn’t help, your
headset is going out of range, move closer to the base.
