connect via an HIS headset cable.
· Pressing the HEADSET key can be used to answer a call through the headset. It can also be pressed to end a
headset call.
· The key is lit when there is a call connected through the headset.
· The key can also be pressed to turn a call that has already been answered using the handset or handsfree into a
headset call.
· If there are no currently connected calls to which you are talking, a call answered by pressing its appearance
button is connected either handsfree or through the headset according to the phone's audio path setting .
