With many modern companies switching their telephony systems over to VoIP
applications (Voice Over Internet Protocol) - or "Computer based phone
system", lots of people tend to choose "Computer"
headsets by accident instead of a traditional "Telephone" headset.
What's the difference? Why does it matter to me?
Well, for one...computer headsets are primarily designed for multi-media
listening (ie. Movies, Music, & Games, etc.). They enhance certain
features like a "Boomy" bass frequency which is great for games & movies, but
definitely not for phone calls! Telephone style headsets on the other
hand, produce a sound & experience closer to an actual telephone call.
They enhance the key frequencies needed to understand what your caller is
saying to you (Voice frequencies), & help to prevent the constant, "What?
Was that a C or a D? Oh, it was T!"
If you already have a
professional office headset from Plantronics (With the QD quick disconnect)
you may be able to use a
DA-Series USB adapter cable to make the switch even easier. The
Plantronics professional office headsets (H-series) will all work with the
DA-Series USB adapter cables. So, if you're starting from
scratch...click
HERE & choose from one of almost 30 different headsets. Then click
HERE & check out the different DA-Series USB cables to see which one
suits your needs.
So make the right choice - are you playing games, or are you making business
calls?

With all of the choices in headsets nowadays, it's hard to keep up with the ever-changing technology for the average everyday person (AKA - the technologically challenged). So, you're in need of a headset but you don't know if you need an amplifier for it...or perhaps you don't know what an amplifier is or what it's for. Well, without getting overly complex...I'll make it really simple.
What is the purpose of an Amplifier?: Briefly; amplifiers provide a source of power to the headset that allows it to work, add additional volume control (Both inbound & outbound control), & have a much better tone & overall sound quality than most built-in amplifiers.
Do I need an Amplifier?: That all depends on your phone. First, does your phone have a dedicated headset jack? If so, what does it look like (A small round hole, or square modular jack like where your handset plugs in)? If you have either of these headset jacks...then you have a built in amplifier! Now, you have a few options: You can use a Direct Connect headset, a Headset with an adapter cable, or...you can still use an amplifier if you so choose.
If your headset jack is a small round hole (Such as on a cordless phone), that's known as a 2.5mm jack. With these, you can use a pre-wired headset or a Professional headsetwith a special 2.5mm adapter. If that still doesn't give you enough volume or you have a hearing impairment, I would highly recommend the Plantronics MHA100 Inline Amplifier along with one of the previously mentioned headsets. The MHA100 amp will net you 3-times louder volume!
If your phone has a square/modular headset jack, then you can use either a Professional grade "Direct Connect" headset, or what's called an External Amplifier (Such as the Plantronics M22) along with a headset. Keep in mind that whenever you use an external amplifier, you will no longer be able to use the "Headset" button on your phone's keypad, as these type amplifiers are designed to go through your phone's HANDset jack (NOT the headset jack). So essentially, better quality but more effort to answer/end calls.
An Important Side Note: If you choose the Direct Connect option, you may also run into phones (like certain Lucent/Avaya, Cisco, & Polycom's) that require a very specific cable in order for your headset to work. However, most Nortel/Norstar, NEC, & others will take the standard "Direct Connect" headsets which come with the connection cable already.
And when all else fails, please feel free to give me a call & I'd be more than happy to assist! Mike Ottovich - Sales & Product Specialist at Headset-Plus.com can be reached at 877-666-9998

Flexible performanceAs well as the wireless DECT connection, the Konftel 300W can be connected to a mobile phone and PC via a USB port for VoIP calls using wideband voice. The line mode switches and combines connections.

Though the Plantronics CT14 only comes with one dial pad and one charging base, you can actually register up to six dial pads to each base. If you purchase more than one CT14 unit, and have several dial pads registered to the same base, users can actually intercom with the other dial pads or even have a 3-way conference with another dial pad and an outside caller.
Registering multiple dial pads (handsets) to the same charging base:
1. Make sure dial pad batteries are fully charged.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter on the base you want to register your dial pad to. Then press and hold PAGE while reconnecting the adapter. Keep holding PAGE until CHARGE indicator starts to blink.
3. On the dial pad, press MENU/SEL. Select the Register base menu. "Handset Registering" will appear in the display. After step 2, you have thirty seconds to complete this step 3 before the system returns to standby.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds. "Registration complete" will be displayed on the dial pad screen when the handset has been registered to the base (a handset ID will be automatically assigned).
5. If "Registration failed" appears on the dial pad screen, please try these steps again.
Note: The handset will stay connected to the new base until you select a different base (see below).
One dial pad can also be registered (connected) to up to 4 different charging bases. You can set the dial pad to automatically search for a new base if the base it's currently connected to is unavailable or out of range. You can also manually select which base you want the handset to connect to.
Manually selecting the baseyou want the dial pad to connect to:
1. Press MENU/SEL while the phone is standby; select the Handset Setup menu, and the Select base submenu.
2. Move the cursor to select the base you want to connect to, or choose "Auto" to have the dial pad automatically search for and select the base nearest you.
3. Press MENU/SEL again. "Searching" will appear in the display.
4. The dial pad will return to the standby mode when the base is found. "Searching" will continue if this base is not found. You can repeat the above searching procedure or return to the original base.
Note: your call will be dropped if you change bases during a call.
How does the CT14intercom feature work?
You need to have at least two CT14 units registered to the same charging base and within the reception range (up to 300 feet). Only two dial pads at a time can be on an intercom call, but while two dial pads are in the intercom mode, the rest of dial pads registered the same base will still be able to make and answer outgoing/incoming phone calls.
Can I make an intercom paging to more than one dial pad?
When you press INT'COM/CLEAR on your dial pad, you can choose to intercom with any one of the dial pads (handsets) registered to the same base or even intercom/page all the dial pads. However, only two dial pads are allowed to intercom each other at the same time, so only the dial pad that answers the intercom/page first would be able to intercom with you.
While two units are in the middle of an intercom conversation, what happens to calls coming in from outside callers?
During an intercom conversation, a background ringing will be heard by both parties when an incoming call is received. Either of the dial pads can answer this phone call by pressing TALK/FLASH. If there are other dial pads registered to (and in range of) the same base, any of them can also answer this phone call (this will not affect the on-going intercom conversation).
How does the 3-way conferencing feature work in CT14?
With two CT14 units registered to the same base, when an outside call comes in and is answered by one of the dial pads, a second CT14 dial pad will be able to join this call by pressing TALK/FLASH. This starts a 3-way conference. This non-traditional 3-way conferencing does not require any subscription to that service from a phone service provider. The user with the second unit can easily leave the conference by pressing END.
Can a 3rd or 4th user join a 3-way conference if there are already two users on the line with the incoming call?
Unfortunately, the 3-way conferencing feature is limited to 2 dial pads and one outside line. "Line in Use" appears in the displays of the rest of dial pads registered to the same base. Though the other dial pads can intercom each other during this time, they will not be able to answer or make outside calls.
Can I transfer the incoming phone call to another dial pad registered to the same base without dropping the call?
You can transfer a call from one dial pad to another as long as they are currently connected to the base:
1. Press INT'COM/CLEAR during a call.
2. Press Up or Down arrow to select the dial pad (you can also select All to page all dial pads) you would like to transfer the call to, then press MENU/SEL. The call will be automatically put on hold and you will hear a paging tone sound. To cancel the transfer, press TALK/FLASH.
3. The selected dial pad(s) will ring and show which dial pad is paging -- and under that will display "Line on Hold".
4. When another dial pad answers the transferred call, you will be disconnected from the call. You can re-join the call while it is active by pressing TALK/FLASH. This call would then become a 3-way conference ("Conf" will be displayed on the screen).
Can I keep my phone conversation private even though there are multiple units connected to the same base?
When you are on a phone call and you do not want other users to interrupt or join your conversation, you can set your dial pad to "Privacy Mode" and other users can't join your call or intercom with you. While you are on a call, press MENU/SEL. Then select Call Privacy. "Privacy mode on" appears in the display for two seconds; the privacy icon (the letter "P") appears and remains in the display until this feature is turned off.

I stayed at my friend's Lake Tahoe house they recently bought. It's brand new and it's beautiful. Located in the town of Truckee. It has 4 bedroom and 3 baths. If you've never been to Lake Tahoe, you have to go.. it's beautiful in the Summer time.. and not too hot. I'm not a skier/snowboarder, I'm sur it's also beautiful in the Winter. I'd recommend anybody to visit Tahoe if you have never been.

Polycom has instituted a stop ship on the Polycom SoundStation 2W based on a potential safety issue with the battery. The Polcyom SoundStation 2, Polycom VTX 1000, and all other Polycom products are unaffected by this; only the SoundStation2W is being temporarily put on stop ship. This action is due to a report that a battery in a SoundStation2W overheated, melting the plastic and causing damage to the table on which it sat. No injuries have been reported. Based on this incident, Polycom decided to immediately implement a stop ship on all SoundStation2W units as a precaution while investigating the cause.
Polycom is taking the following actions to determine the root cause and the appropriate course of action:
We have retained a team of 3rd party experts, specializing in battery technology and battery failure analysis. These experts are working alongside Polycom to determine the root cause of this incident and ensure that the product is safe. Once the root cause is found, we will determine an appropriate solution and communicate the solution to channels and end users. Preliminary indications are that the battery is the source of the failure, but we await complete data before announcing any action.
We are auditing our battery suppliers design practices and manufacturing facilities, and are also investigating alternate battery suppliers.
We are working closely with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and with corresponding organizations internationally, to determine the best course of action to protect customers. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is a U.S. government agency responsible for product safety, and works with many manufacturers, including those that have battery safety issues, such as Dell, HP, Apple, Nikon, and others.
Once the root cause has been determined and an appropriate solution is identified, Polycom and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission will communicate next steps to channels and customers. We will follow up as soon as we have more information and will send out another update no later than February 10, 2006.
