GETTING STARTED...
When selecting a headset, there are two factors to consider:
First, is your environment...
The louder your environment, the better a headband model will perform when compared to an over-the-ear model.
Second, is your personal preference. Some people prefer the more secure fit of a headband model, while others want an over-the-ear model which is light weight and low profile
Noise Canceling
In louder environments, a noise canceling headset will reduce up to 75% of the background noise. This enables the person you're talking with, to better hear and understand your voice. Noise canceling headsets are designed for larger offices with employees in close proximity to one another.
Cordless Headsets
 Cordless headsets are yet another option, offering "wireless" hands free mobility with a range of up to 300 feet* from the base unit.
*PLEASE NOTE Cordless technology is limited by the installation environment, as a result your actual range may differ - a limitation of the technology NOT the product.*
Bluetooth Technology
Take it with you! From your office to your cell phone Bluetooth technology allows you to use your headset wherever you go!
*PLEASE NOTE Bluetooth technology is limited to an approx. 33-foot range - a limitation of the technology NOT the product.*
Other Headset Information
Lifters
On many telephones, you may be required to remove your handset for each call and then place your handset back in the cradle to hang-up your call. This is not headset/amplifier related, but how your phone operates. By using a phone with on-hook dialing or an amplifier with a handset lifter can solve this problem. Wireless headsets will also use a handset lifter for remote operation.
Amplifiers
There are different amplifiers for different phone systems and different applications. The modular amplifier is the most common, but a better solution may exist. Please call with any questions regarding compatibility.
Telephones with headset ports are becoming more commonplace and are easily compatible with phone headsets. This allows the user to use a Non-amplified headset. The advantage is you save money compared to the traditional amplifier and headset. The disadvantage is that you lose the ability to control your outgoing voice volume.
Cordless telephones and cellular phones that have a 2.5mm connection are headset ready and don't require an amplifier. A few headset models have the 2.5mm connection or you can select any of the standard models and use a 2.5mm patch cord.
