Getting started Handset lifter installation The TL7100 lifter works with the TL7610/TL7611 DECT 6.0 cordless headset by using the TL7610/TL7611 base adapter to provide a complete communication solution for most corded telephones. The lifter raises and lowers its switch hook presser to answer, make and end phone calls. The ring detector provides an incoming call indication through the cordless headset, so you can answer calls even if you are away from the telephone base.
