Headset base and handset lifter installation
Installation options
There are three installation options as described below.
For Options 1 and 2, the handset lifter works with the cordless
headset 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 when you are away from
the telephone base.
Option 1:
Connect the headset to a corded phone (see pages
11-12). This option allows you to use the headset to
remotely control the lifter for answering or hanging up
a call.
Option 2:
Connect the headset to a corded phone and computer
(see pages 13-16). This option enables you to use the
headset for VoIP (Voice over IP) calls through your
computer, or traditional phone call through the corded
phone. You can use the voice command feature to
make or answer calls. Make sure you install the
AT&T
Softphone Call Manager
on your computer using
the
CD-ROM
provided in the package. You may also
visit
www.telephones.att.com/downloads
to download and install the software. For installation
and operation instructions of the software, refer to the
Installation and Operation Guide
which can also be
found in the
CD-ROM
provided or the web site stated
above.
Option 3:
If you do not want to install the lifter on the corded
handset, you can simply connect the headset to a
telephone wall jack through the line splitter provided
(see page 17). The headset acts as a supplementary
device that can join calls. Use the telephones
connected to the same telephone line to make or
answer calls.
