wireless without handset lifter? 1

[ebfaig]

i have a customer that has been told that the partner system can have a button programmed to allow calls picked up on a cordless headset without the need for a handset lifter. does anyone know how to do this?

i have always used handset lifters with wireless headsets such as plantronics with the HL10 lifter. this customer has been told that the lifter is not necessary. this customer is transitioning away from a Vodavi that does not require a lifter, similar to the Nortel which does not require the lifter.

customer is getting an R7 and uses the same wireless headset on his Vodavi phone and on his cell phone. there is a base station between the Vodavi handset and headset.

no such thing except if the new R7 version supports the programming of a Headset status button and Headset hangup and as far as I know it is not yet there.

The Plantronics CT12 is an Analog cordelss headset. This will work off any analog port...including the AUX jack on the back of a Partner 18d or Partner 34d...or the Partner 6 button phone. For some reason they elminated the AUX jack on the back of the Partner 6D, so for that phone you would need a splitter on the wall jack. Just plug the headset into the Aux jack and away you go. We sell a ton of these for the partner phones and people love them. No need for a Headset lifter.

how do you answer or call out on a specific line with that headset. can you use any of the feature buttons on the system phone the way that you described? i have set that type of headset up before but always as a distinct extension.

no feature buttons from an analog phone but you can dial codes to pretty much do anything you can do from a system phone through dial out codes. Intercom 801 to dial out on line 1 intercom 6801 to pick up a call on hold on line 1 and so on. There are many codes for many things.

read the section in the manual on standard phones

When you plug the CT12 into the Adjunct port on the back of the Partner 18D...you can select lines on the Partner 18D after you press the on button on the CT12. As well as use all the feature buttons on the 18D to do any call control. You would use the phone to handle calls and use the on/off aka Talk/hangup button on the CT12 to enable the headset.

I have a couple customers who do what jinxs suggests using an inexpensive cordless phone with a headset.
