Getting Started
Headset Instructions
Your telephone is designed to work with a headset that has a 4-pin, RJ-type connector. User
satisfaction for any particular headset can be quite subjective, so Mitel recommends that you try
before buying so you are more likely to be satisfied with the fit, quality, and cost of the solution.
This recommendation includes all wired and wireless headsets, including the integrated
Plantronics
®
CS50 Headset. In addition, Mitel recommends using a headset with a built-in
microphone to avoid audio feedback (echo).
Wireless Considerations: To operate, the Plantronics CS50 Wireless Headset must remain
within the system’s range operating limit from the base. Refer to the Plantronics CS50 Wireless
Headset System User Guide for more details.
When using a headset, press (Speaker) to connect to or disconnect from calls. The
Headset icon appears when the headset is in use. You cannot use the handset or
speakerphone when the telephone is in Headset Mode. Disconnecting the headset
automatically enables the handset.
To connect and activate the headset:
1. Insert the headset jack into the Headset port located on the back of the telephone.
2. Dial 317
(Headset on/off). HEADSET MODE ON appears.
To turn off Headset Mode and activate the handset and speakerphone:
Dial 317
(Headset on/off). HEADSET MODE OFF appears.
NOTES
The headset must be hearing aid compatible (HAC).
If your headset has a power-saver mode, make sure the system administrator has
enabled the “Headset Connect Tone” feature. If this is not enabled, you may miss
the first few seconds of an incoming call.
NOTE
Because Headset Mode disables the handset and speakerphone, you
must turn off Headset Mode before you can use the handset or
speakerphone.
