Headset base installation
For calls using the phone line
You can use your DECT cordless headset for calls through your
telephone line with or without a telephone. You can also plug
the headset directly into a telephone jack without the splitter. If
you plug the headset into a telephone line without a telephone
connected to the line, you will not be able to make calls.
Connect your headset to a telephone wall jack:
Use the included line splitter to connect the headset and your
telephone to the same telephone jack.
NOTE: The headset base and headset do not have an external ringer. When
you receive calls, the headset earpiece plays an alert tone. If you have
telephones connected to the same telephone line as the headset base, you
can rely on the ringers of those telephones to alert you to incoming calls.
