The telephone headset outlet for a Norstar phone (pictured above and located just above the icon) is located on the bottom side of each phone set. To use a headset with a Norstar telephone the set must have a HANDSFREE button ( ) or an ( ) button.  The headset used must have a standard modular interface. This modular style interface is identical to the modular ends found on a standard handset curly cord.

Once a standard modular style headset is plugged into this special outlet that telephones handset, speaker and microphone will stop working. By design, the headset now takes over handling what the speaker, microphone or cradled handset provided before.

Note : To return to using the speaker, microphone or cradled handset ... simply un-plug the headset connection.

The HANDSFREE button ( ) or ( ) button with a plugged in headset is used to answer / connect and disconnect / hang-up from dial tone or callers. The volume control bar ( ) is also used with a plugged in headset to adjust headset volume levels.
