This type of microphone reduces the transmission of background noise. When using a noise-cancelling headset, the user must place the microphone two fingers from the side of the mouth and talk directly into the microphone, so that their voice does not become part of the ambient background noise and disappear.

Headsets generally use 2.5mm (Cell phone plug) plugs, 3.5mm (soundcard plug) or Modular plugs (RJ9). There are other types of plugs that are used. Please confirm compatibility with Starbase Telecoms info@starbase.co.za

The QD (quick disconnect) sits inbetween the straight cable of the headset (top half cable) and the curly cord of the headset (bottom cable). This allows the user to disconnect their headset from an active call and then reconnect, without dropping the call. This allows for mobility.

The handset port refers to the socket into which the handset is plugged into. The headset port is the socket that the headset will plug into. Usually there is visual indication on the telephone instrument indicating where the headset and handset should plug into. They are denoted by a handset or a headset design. It is important to note that not all telephone instruments have headset ports or sockets.

Transmit (or TX) refers to the volume of your voice and the headset’s microphone. It is what the person on the other end of the line hears. Receive (or RX) is the volume at which you hear the persons voice. Increasing the receive volume, only affects what you hear.

Check to see that you have the right bottom cord for your model of phone.
Some desk phones have different wiring configurations, even though the headset port may be the same.
