Headset base installation

Option 2: Connect the headset to a telephone wall jack
You can use your DECT cordless headset for calls through your
telephone line with or without a telephone.
When you connect your headset base to the telephone wall jack
without a telephone, you are unable to make calls.
Use the included line splitter to connect the headset base and
your telephone to the same telephone wall jack.
• Plug one end of the
telephone line cord into
the TEL WALL JACK
(red dot) at the back of
the headset base.

• Use the attached
fastener to bundle
all line cords neatly.
• Connect another
telephone line
cord between the
telephone and the
line splitter.
NOTE: The headset base and headset do not have external ringers. When
you receive calls, the headset earpiece rings. 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.
