User manual PLANTRONICS STARBASE 2000

[. . . ] Connecting the Handset Please ensure that the spiral headset cable is inserted firmly into the port marked handset (1). Connecting to the Telephone Network The telephone cord (25) should be connected to the telephone socket (20) on the back of the telephone. The other end is connected to the wall-mounted telephone network connection socket. Setting the Ringer Volume The ringer volume switch (18) at the back of the telephone can be set to one of 3 settings. Hi = loud ringing tone Lo = quiet ringing tone Off = the telephone will not ring When set to "Off" the ringer LED indicator (3) will still flash to indicate an incoming call. [. . . ] By pressing the headset key you can obtain a free line, answer an incoming call or disconnect the current call. You can switch between headset and handset and viceversa by pressing this key at any time during a call. IMPORTANT Calls can only be transferred from the handset to the headset if a headset is connected to the telephone. It is possible, however, when making calls using the headset, to disconnect from the telephone using the Quick Disconnect (QD) without losing the call - the caller is placed on hold whilst the cord is disconnected. The call is still connected, and the conversation can be continued after reconnecting the QD. New Call Key When pressed, the new call key (12), behaves the same as replacing your handset or operating the headset key to clear the line. It can be used at any time to clear a call and obtain the dial tone to make another call. Headset 'ON' LED While calls are being made using the headset, the headset 'ON' LED (4) lights up to indicate that a call is in progress. The light goes out if no calls, or calls using the handset, are being made. Headset Volume Control A headset volume control (21) on the right hand side of the telephone allows you to select the most comfortable listening volume for the headset. The volume level can be set or changed at any time. Last Number Recall The last number dialled is stored in a last-number recall memory. To recall this number: Lift the handset or press the headset key (10) Wait for the dialling tone Press the last number recall button (8) The last number dialled is automatically redialled. Pause Key If your telephone is connected to a private branch exchange (PABX), you will usually have to dial "0" or "9" to access an outside exchange line. Some PABXs require a pause in order to give the PABX time to obtain the dialling tone. The Pause key (11) will provide a suitable pause and may be useful, especially when storing numbers. Please be aware each time the pause key (11) is pressed it counts as a digit. Tone Key The tone key (7) enables you to switch, temporarily, from pulse to tone dialling. 5 If your local telephone network only supports pulse dialling but you wish, say, to call an automated service (e. g. telephone banking) you can use the tone key to accomplish this: Lift the receiver, and dial the number Press the tone key; tones are now generated When the call is ended, the telephone automatically reverts to pulse dialling mode. Mute To switch off the microphone, the 'mute' key (9) can be pressed. If selected, the indicator light near the key lights up, and the microphone of the handset and the headset are switched off. On pressing the key again, the mute is cancelled. Recall Button The recall key (6) is used by PABX systems, and on digital exchanges. Contact your service provider for details of the features available. One common use of the recall key on PABX systems is to transfer calls to another extension. [. . . ] For repairs, please consult your authorised PLANTRONICS dealer who will immediately deal with eliminating the defect. Conditions of Use Your StarBase® 2000 headset telephone has been approved for use on private direct exchange lines and business lines, behind a PABX for example. StarBase 2000 should be used only on lines which recognise either loop disconnect (pulse) dialling or DTMF (tone) signalling. The approved label is attached to the telephone base. [. . . ]
