Using the Speakerphone or Headset
Headset Cord Disconnect
•
Headset Cord Disconnect enables activating a selected preprogrammed key by disconnecting the handset/headset cord.
The feature enables you to automatically invoke a keyset function such as Do Not Disturb, Login/Logout, Attended/
Unattended, Call Forward, or any other preprogrammed key function, upon disconnection of the headset cord.
•
One of the Headset Cord Disconnect purposes is to block a telephone from accepting calls when the headset cord is
disconnected. Any call forwarding to the keyset will be automatically cancelled when the feature is activated.
•
This feature is generally combined with the Headset Only feature to allow calls to be conducted via the headset/handset
even if the cradle switch is on-hook.
NOTE!
The Headset Cord Disconnect feature does not work with all headset equipment. The feature is
operable only with headsets that do not use auxiliary equipment, such as splitters, volume
amplifiers, external headset/handset switches.
•
See your system administrator for the programmable button assigned for this feature.
•
The corresponding button should be programmed to perform the required function.
Operation
•
If a button is preprogrammed with a feature having ON/OFF states (e.g. Do Not Disturb), the system will toggle the
feature Off when the Cord is connected, and On when the Cord is disconnected. The Login/Logout function is excluded
from this rule, as it operates in the reverse mode.
•
If the button is programmed with a feature without ON/OFF states, the system will operate the same key contents when
connecting/disconnecting the cord (e.g. dialing an external number).
•
When enabled by disconnecting the cord, the feature can be disabled also by pressing the button.
•
The feature activated by pressing a button when the cord is plugged in, will remain active when the cord is disconnected.
•
Connecting the cord will cancel the feature that has been activated by pressing a programmable button or dialing a feature
code when the cord was disconnected.
