If you connect your headset to a telephone wall jack (page 22), set the CORDED HANDSET CONNECTED switch to NO.••

14Getting startedHeadset base and handset lifter installationOption 1: Connect the handset lifter to a corded phoneThe handset lifter (lifter) works with the cordless headset to provide a complete communication solution for most corded telephones. The lifter raises and lowers its switch hook presser to answer, make and end phone calls. The ring detector provides an incoming call indication through the cordless headset, so you can answer calls even when you are away from the telephone base.With this installation, you must set the CORDED HANDSET CONNECTED switch to YES (see page 13). Adjust the corded handset audio (see page 15) before you install the handset lifter to the corded phone. See page 16 to attach the handset lifter.Plug one end of the corded phone connection cable into the CORDED PHONE CONNECTION jack (blue dot) at the back of the headset base.•Unplug the curly handset cord from the handset jack on the corded phone and plug it into the jack on the corded phone connection cable.•Corded phonePlug the other end of the corded phone connection cable into the handset jack on the corded phone.•A DSL filter (not included) is required if you have DSL high-speed Internet service.Plug the end of the lifter control cable into the LIFTER jack at the back of the headset base.•Use the attached fastener to bundle all line cords neatly.•

15Getting startedHeadset base and handset lifter installationAdjust the corded handset audio1. Make sure that the CORDED HANDSET CONNECTED switch is set to YES and PHONE mode is selected on the headset base. 2. Lift the corded handset to release the switch hook.

The PHONE mode light flashes twice every three seconds on the headset base to indicate that the headset is in use. If there is no dial tone or the dial tone is unclear, slide the corded handset audio adjust switch at the bottom of the headset base from A to F until the dial tone is clear.

16Getting startedAttach the lifter1. To choose where to install the lifter on your telephone, look at the space underneath the corded handset. If there is a speaker, the lifter should be centered over the speaker. If there is no speaker, the lifter should be centered within the space. Make sure the lifter arm is raised above the switch hook of the telephone base.2. Peel off the protective strips from the adhesive tape at the bottom of the lifter.3. Carefully place the lifter in the desired position and press down.4. Plug the lifter control cable into the LIFTER jack on the headset base.Headset base and handset lifter installationAdhesive tape

17Getting startedHeadset base and handset lifter installationAdjust the height of the lifter armTurn the ADJUST LIFTER knob to change the height of the lifter arm.

Lower the lifter arm until the switch hook presser holds the switch hook down.4. Place the corded handset on the lifter.5. Press on the headset. The switch hook presser should rise and release the switch hook on your telephone base. Make sure you hear a dial tone through your headset earpiece.6. If the switch hook is not fully released, turn the ADJUST LIFTER knob (see page 17) while the corded handset is on the lifter. When the switch hook is fully released, you will hear a dial tone from the headset.It may take some adjustments and testing to find the right position for the lifter. For the lifter to work properly, the switch hook must release completely when you press and turn the headset on. The switch hook must also be held down completely when you press and turn the headset off.

19Getting startedHeadset base and handset lifter installationInstallation of large lifter pad (optional)If the small lifter pad cannot hold the corded handset steadily, you can attach a large lifter pad (provided) to enlarge the contact area.1.

Remove the protective strip from the adhesive tape on the auxiliary ring detector. 3. Stick the auxiliary ring detector to the center of the corded phone speaker.The internal or auxiliary ring detector detects the telephone ringer and sends a ring tone to the headset earpiece. If you installed the lifter over the top of the corded phone speaker, the internal ring detector will recognize when the phone rings. However, if your corded phone speaker is located elsewhere on the phone, stick the auxiliary ring detector to the speaker as shown below.About internal and auxiliary ring detectorsAdhesive tapeAuxiliary ring detector plugAuxiliary ring detector SpeakerRING DETECT jackRING DETECT jack

You must register a new headset with the headset base before use (see page 26). -OR- You can register a maximum of two headsets (TL7900/TL7912) to an AT&T DECT 6.0 telephone. The telephone base recognizes and counts a headset the same as a handset. When you register the TL7912 headset to an AT&T DECT 6.0 telephone, the headset base acts only as a charger for the headset. You can place the headset base anywhere you have an available power outlet. Do not plug in the telephone line cord; you only need to plug the headset base into a power outlet (see page 27). Refer to your telephone user’s manual for the maximum number of handsets that you can register to the telephone base. If you have the maximum number of handsets registered, you need to follow the deregistration information in your telephone user’s manual before you can register a headset.

Telephone calls are transmitted between the headset base and the headset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless headset conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless headset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless headset conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.Electrical power: The headset base of this cordless headset must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the headset if the headset base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.•••••

53AppendixImportant safety informationPotential TV interference: Some cordless headsets operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the headset base of the cordless headset near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless headset farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Rechargeable batteries: This product contains lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle lithium-ion rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1-800-8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Li-ion batteries.CAUTIONThere may be a risk of explosion if you use a wrong type of battery. Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT191665).Change this product's batteries only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.As with any batteries, do not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to come in contact with the metallic parts of the battery.
