Features
Headset Key
A keyset user can have a Feature Key on their telephone or DSS Console assigned as a Headset key. The
user presses the key to enable or disable the headset mode, as an alternative to using the
#HL
User Pro-
grammable Feature. The key lights while the extension is in the Headset mode, and is off while the Headset
mode is disabled. If an extension user is on a call, pressing the Headset key automatically switches the
active call to the headset. Pressing the Headset key again switches the call back to Handsfree.
Off-Hook Signaling and Headsets
Outside Calls (transfers and DILs)
If the extension is set up to receive Camp-On tones for waiting (transferred) outside calls, the user will hear
the Camp-On tones in their headset. They will also hear Camp-On tones in their headset for a waiting Direct
Inward Line (DIL). The extension will not, however, receive Camp-On tones for Key Ring calls ringing the
phone while it is in the headset mode.
An extension in the headset mode will not hear Off-Hook Ringing.
Intercom Calls
If the extension is set up to receive Camp-On tones for waiting Intercom calls, the user will hear tones in
their headset when a co-worker dials 2 to wait in line.
