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.
