This might sound like a dumb question.. but does ringer come through the headset or the charging base?

The phone rings through the battery powered keypad/phone corded to the headset. There is a button on the charging base to ring the phone if it is misplaced.

Not a dumb question, totally understand! :) The ringer comes from the phone unit that connects to the headset ... not the charging base. This was a huge benefit to me.

Neither. The ring comes through the phone that sits on the charging base. To answer it, you have to take the phone off the base and push "Answer" button.

Not a dumb question at all. I can hear the ringer, I just can't talk on it without the headphones plugged in. I like the feel of the headphones on my ear but there is always some hissing noise that I didn't have on my last phone.

Yes. If you turn the ringer volume off on the base, a small red light will blink (on the base) when you receive a call, and the handset will ring.

It looks like you can... I can attach the battery to the charger and can still make calls. If you have a spare headset, try it yourself by disconnecting battery and placing on charger and see what happens.

Hi, It depends a little on the phone base you are paring with. This worked for me (AT&T Dect 6.0 answering machine base). 1. Remove the headset from the charger base 2. Press the Intercom/Handset locator on the master base unit (base "in Use" light turns on) 3. Return the headset to charging base (master displays "Registering") Ready to use.

I'm not sure what headset you will be using but if you use the ones that come with the phone yes basically you just slide the phone in with the jack in and it fits perfect if you try to plug them in after you have the phone in the holster it's kind of awkward I have head phoned plugged in all the time at work this is a great holster

Yes the base allows for speakerphone calls while the handset is charging, but the handsets can not speakerphone from their respective chargers. Unless I am blind which my parents claimed I was when they would send me to my room to find something, there is no handset mic jack nor a base mic jack.

You can talk while it's charging. The headset is the only way to talk. A horrible idea but if desperate, it can be done. I don't charge every night but if it's needed and I forgot, I'm so annoyed with myself for having to be chained to the phone.

Yes. There is a telephone cord that comes out of the back of the charger and plugs into the phone base.

Just the base is connected to a phone jack. You will want power for the other handsets to charge in the cradle. I have been impressed with this phone so far, the sound is clear and has good range.

No, this headset IS the cordless phone. That is to say, the base station of this headset connects to your desk phone and the headset is cordless. But it requires a corded handset on your desk phone to make the connection.

No it doesn't. It uses Plantronics' own proprietary magnetic charger that snaps onto the headset. The other end, however connects to a standard USB port

I'm unsure of what exactly you're asking, but here goes...the handsets sit in the base(s) when not in use. To talk, you take them out of the base. If you want to use a headset or earbuds, you would plug those into the phone handset and then clip the handset onto your belt or waistband (the clip is included). The phone handset needs to travel with you when you're using it, even when using a headset.

All audio cables are provided. You supply your own charging cable for the iPhone, but 3.5mm is included (actually two, one for smartphones and one for standard phones). The dock acts as a speaker, so your phones ringtone will come through, not a "ring" per say.

It is a headset. It rings different rings in your ear if you have different rings set up for different callers. That's it. No display.

No, just the modular handset cord jack. There are headsets out there that will connect to the modular jack, then the handset cord connects to the headset adaptor.

no. it plugs into the back of the phone its just a simple headset. it does make my job on the phone easier. it works well for what you pay.

No, its only the headset. I already had a USB charge cable from a different Plantronics headset that worked. You can buy the USB charge cable - http://www.amazon.com/New-Plantronics-USB-Charger-510/dp/B002IZPNQG
