To prepare a headset so that you can choose either the handset or the
headset for each call:
1 Insert the cord for the headset amplifier into the handset cord receptacle
on the underside of the telephone.
2 Insert both the headset cord and the handset cord into the headset
amplifier.
3 For headset calls: Lift the handset off the telephone and leave it off. Use
the headset microphone and earphones.
Even when the headset is plugged into the amplifier, you must remove
the handset from the cradle to use the headset.
4 For handset calls: Press the button on the headset amplifier that turns
the headset off, pick up the handset, and speak into it.
To manage calls when you are using the headset:
1 Put the headset on. When a call comes in:
If the handset is on hook, pick it up, set it on your desk, and begin to
speak.
2 To end a call when you are using a headset:
On a 3Com Entry Telephone or an analog telephone, hang up the
handset or press Feature + 111.

buttons on the amplifier to Off and hang up the handset on your
