Enable Electronic Hookswitch
After you set the base unit options for your headset and connect your headset to your phone, you can enable EHS.
Task
1 Connect your headset and EHS adapter to your phone.
See the Quick Start Guide for your phone on
for information on connecting a headset to your phone.
2 Go to Menu > Settings > Basic > Preferences.
3 Select Headset > Hookswitch Mode.
4 Select one of the following modes for your specific headset:
• Choose Regular Mode (default) if another headset is attached.
• Choose Jabra if an EHS-compatible Jabra headset is attached with an EHS cable or adapter.
• Choose Poly if an EHS-compatible Poly headset is attached with an EHS cable or adapter.
• Choose Sennheiser if an EHS-compatible Sennheiser headset is attached with an EHS cable or adapter. If your
phone doesn’t have a menu selection for Sennheiser, select Jabra instead.
Change the Headset Mode
To control your phone using your headset, the headset must be in soft phone mode.
Headsets that come with a docking station have two modes: soft phone and desk phone mode. If you can’t operate the
phone from your headset, it’s possible that your headset is in desk phone mode.
Task
» Press and hold the headset hookswitch until you hear a sound or message on the headset.
Controlling Calls with Electronic Hookswitch
Certain connected headsets offer functions to control calls with Electronic Hookswitch.
After you have followed the procedures for connecting your headset and enabled EHS, you can use the controls on your
headset to answer, mute, and end calls. If it's supported on your headset, you can also place calls on hold. See your
headset's user documentation for information on controlling calls from your headset.
When you are in an active call and you receive an incoming call, you can’t use the hookswitch control on your headset to
place the active call on hold and answer the incoming call. Pressing the hookswitch control on the headset ends the active
call and answers the incoming call. To place the existing call on hold and answer the incoming call, answer the call on your
phone.
Disconnect the Electronic Hookswitch
To disconnect or change your headset, properly detach your headset from your phone.
Task
1 Go to Menu > Settings > Basic.
2 Select Headset > Hookswitch Mode.
3 Select Regular Mode.
4 Remove the EHS adapter from the serial port on the back of the phone.
