Environmental Factors
For optimal sound quality, use a headset and read the following guidelines. Optionally, you
can use your computer speakers and microphone, but make sure to use a microphone with
echo cancellation.
Headset Recommendations
The Model 8602 has been designed to work with standard computer headsets. Computer
headsets come in two basic configurations: analog (which use the 1/8-inch mini phono
jacks on the computer sound card interface) and digital (which use the USB interface). In
general, USB headsets are known to produce higher-quality audio because they send
digital audio to the computer and may have other built-in features, such as echo
cancellation. User satisfaction for any particular headset can be quite subjective, so Inter-
Tel recommends that you try before buying so you are more likely to be satisfied with the fit,
quality, and cost of the solution. This recommendation includes all wired/wireless headsets,
including the integrated Plantronics CS50-USB Wireless Headset.
In addition, Inter-Tel recommends using a headset with a built-in microphone to avoid audio
feedback (echo). Optionally, you can use your computer speakers and microphone, but be
sure to use a microphone with echo cancellation. When using a headset, plug in the
headset before starting the Model 8602 application.
Wireless Considerations
To operate, the Plantronics CS50-USB Wireless Headset must remain within the system's
range operating limit from the base. Refer to the Plantronics CS50-USB Wireless Headset
System User Guide for more details. Contact your local Inter-Tel provider for the user
guide.
