Accessories 

Deployment/Demonstration Kit

 

The KIRK Deployment Kit is used in the planning and development stages of a KIRK 
Wireless Solution. The Deployment Kit also makes an excellent demonstration kit. 

The KIRK Deployment Kit includes two KIRK Handsets, two chargers with power 
supplies, and one KIRK Deployment Base Station. 

Documentation is included. 

KIRK Handset Charger 

Charging your handset is easy. The handset charger is a neatly designed, well-
functioning, state-of-the-art charger, which will fit into any environment. The power 
supply must be ordered separately.  

KIRK Handset Programming Kit 

The Handset Programming Kit is a state-of-the-art charger that also allows a user to 
connect to the handset with a laptop PC and the KIRK Service Tool Program.

*

   

Included with the programming kit is a serial-to-RJ cable to connect to the laptop. The 
KIRK Service Tool Program and a Y-splitter cable are also required for handset 
programming, and are sold separately.  

Use the KIRK Handset Programming Kit to change:

Handset software 

 

Phone book programming 

* 3040 handsets require a special charger for this function. 

KIRK Headset, Plantronics 

When you wish to use both hands and be able to answer your telephone at the same time 
a headset is necessary. The Plantronics headset is notable for its lightweight construction, 
along with the versatility that allows easy switching from the ear hook to the headband 
fixture. 

The headset’s advantages include a background noise suppression microphone and an 
adjustable patented ear hook. It is designed to last, and guaranteed for two years from 
the date of production. The headset is delivered with both ear hook and headband. 

KIRK Handset Safety Line 

A safety line can be used to provide the best protection against damage caused by 
dropping the handset. Connect one end of the safety line to your handset and the other 
end to your belt. It can be used in conjunction with the belt clip. 

KIRK Handset Leather Pouch 

The black leather pouch with belt clip is used to absorb wear and damage to the handset. 
The leather pouch is also available with a carrying handle for the KIRK 3040 Handset.  

KIRK Handset Belt Clip 

The spring-loaded, black, plastic belt clip, easily attaches a KIRK Handset to your belt 
when not in use. It can be used in conjunction with the safety line.
