Headset Amplifiers
Choosing an Amplifier
The amplifier can
have an essential role to play in setting up a system
that is to make use of headsets but also has useful
features in its own right. To use a headset, it has to be
compatible with and linked to a telephone. Amplifiers
provide an interface that overcomes the problem of
connecting headsets to the different types of telephone.Amplifier
Features
Volume control
Receive
The receive control allows adjustment of the volume
signal to the speaker so that the other party can be
heard at a comfortable level.
Transmit The transmit control allows adjustment of
the volume going through the microphone, so the other
party can hear the user at a comfortable level.
Headset/Handset
Switch
This
switch allows convenient interchange between handset and
headset.
Quick Disconnect
The
Quick Disconnect feature allows the user to move away
from the phone without removing the headset and, at the
same time, continuing the connection with the other party
who is effectively put 'on hold'.
Mute Button
Enables
the user to converse without being heard by the other
party on the connection. Once pushed. the microphone is
muted allowing free conversation and can be toggled on
and off.
Hearing protection
Protects
against sudden surges in volume.
On-line "Do
Not Disturb" Indicator
With
prolonged headset use, it may not be possible for others
to know if a call is in progress. The indicator light
gives a visual means of determining the current status
and therefore minimizes interruptions.
Power
Some
amplifiers are powered by either batteries or AC power
supply and others use the existing phone system.
Battery Low
Indicator
An
audible alert is heard in the headset to indicate that
the batteries are running low and are in need of change.
Battery Save
If
the unit is not used continuously, a "sleep"
function extends battery life by powering down after a
specified idle period.
Headset Stand
A
stand providing storage for the headset whilst not in
use.
Although
some amplifiers are almost universally compatible with
all telephones and systems, please provide details of the
system and type of headset in use so that Communications
Solutions can determine an
appropriate unit for your requirements.
