Description
This PBX supports headset compatible proprietary telephones (PTs). A PT user can talk to another party
hands-free and without lifting the handset by using an optional headset.
For connection and operation, refer to the Operating Instructions for the headset.
This feature is also known as Handset/Headset Selection.
Conditions
• If headset mode is on, pressing the SP-PHONE button activates the headset, not the built-in speaker.
• To set the headset mode on a digital proprietary telephone (DPT), use personal programming (Headset
Operation) or press the Headset button. To set headset mode on an analog proprietary telephone
(APT), use the handset/headset selector located on the telephone and/or on the headset.
• Headset Button
Any flexible button on a DPT can be customized as the Headset button. The Headset button can be
also assigned to a flexible button on an APT, but the button will have no function.
• Answer/Release Button
A flexible button can be customized as an Answer button or a Release button. Such buttons are useful
for headset operation. It is possible to answer an incoming call by pressing the Answer button. While
hearing a call waiting tone during a conversation, pressing the Answer button enables one to answer
the second call by placing the current call on hold. Pressing the Release button enables one to
disconnect the line during or after conversation, or to complete a Call Transfer.
• It is possible to change from headset mode to hands-free mode or vice versa during a conversation by
pressing the Headset button.
• Headset users cannot use the following features:
– Receiving the Off-hook Call Announcement (OHCA) (→ 1.7.4.3 Off-hook Call Announcement
(OHCA))
– Receiving the Whisper OHCA (→ 1.7.4.4 Whisper OHCA)
