Headsets

Headpiece
Your Lucent Technologies cordless or wireless phone is equipped with a single-prong headset jack on
the left, near the volume control switch (MDC 9000), or on the bottom, near the extension label (MDW
9000/9010).
Your headset assists in call answering and provides hands-free operation.
The headpiece provides sound in one ear. It has an adjustable headband and soft ear cushion. The
noise-canceling microphone reduces background noise by up to 75%.
Important: The range of the handset is diminished when you are using the headset. Therefore, you
may need to move closer to the base, or move the base closer to your operating area.
Using Headsets
When using a headset, the 12-inch (30-cm)
headset adapter cord is required. The "quick
disconnect" plug on the headset adapter cord
attaches to the headset. The headset adapter
miniplug is then inserted into the headset jack
on the handset.
If desired, the headset adapter cord can be
removed from the handset without the call
being dropped. You can then use the handset
as you normally would.
Note: Calls cannot be heard on the handset
when the headset adapter cord is connected to
the headset jack. The handset microphone is
also disabled.
Answering Calls with a Headset
For convenience when using the holster, the
headset On/Off button near the antenna should
be used. This button will become active only
when the headset adapter cord is plugged into
the headset jack. It is identical in function to the
On/Off button to the left of the Hold button.

When you receive a call, you hear ringing
coming from the handset; you do not hear a
tone from the headset itself. To answer a call,
activate the headset On/Off button near the
antenna, or if you prefer, the On/Off button
to the left of the Hold button (if the handset is
not in the holster).
