the base until a dial tone is heard. The default A works for
most phones.
Attention: Use configuration D for Cisco phones. Cisco

up to 2 devices at a time. That includes your base.
I hear static.
• Make sure there is at least 12 inches between your base

your telephone. If adjusting the distance doesn’t help,
your headset is going out of range, move closer to the
base. See Position Your Base
The sound is distorted.
• Lower the desk phone speaking volume and/or desk
phone listening volume on the base. For most telephones
the correct setting is position 2. See Adjust volume.
• If your desk phone has a volume control, lower until the
distortion disappears.
• If the distortion is still present, adjust the headset volume
control to lower the headset speaker volume. See Adjust
volume.
• Make sure there is 12 inches between your base and
your computer, and 6 inches between your base and your
telephone. See Position Your Base.

position, adjust the position of the headset to make sure
the microphone is as close as possible to your mouth.
People I talk to can hear a buzz in
the background.

Position Your Base.
• If the base power supply is plugged into a power strip,
plug it into the wall directly.
