Does the phone still ring if the headset is plugged in?

Yes it does. It would behave exactly the same way as if any other kind of wired headset were plugged in.

I have the iPhone 5 and it does not. And with some cases the jack does not have enough clearance. When I get a call the screen still lights up. For my needs this is nice perk. I am typing this out at my desk and my phone is sitting immediately to the right of my key board. Overall I really like the stand and the headset quality is nice.

My headpiece does not beep when there is an incoming call. I get a little electrical click but not a beep.

I think only wired headset plug into the handset. If I were you I'd skip this phone - it was lousy and I replaced it.

You can silence the headset, but the base will still rings. This is my experience

sometime happens, but don't have headset in all the way or hit volume control. could be other phone.

Yes, while on the headset I can get on the line and put the headset on mute and still hear the conversation on the other line. On the corded base when you put the call on hold you can't hear on the corded phone. I hope this helps.

To my knowledge, based upon reading the literature, the answer is no. This seems to be constructed as a disposable item. I've had my current headset for about the same length of time -- it's held together with tape and very gentle handling, and I always keep it plugged in.

No ... volume is controlled on the device to which the phones are plugged in. However, if not turned "on" the sound is greatly diminished.

Sorry for the delay in responding as we were on vacation and just returned today.The hand sets do have a headset plug on the side and a speaker phone mode. I cannot find a headset plug for the larger base (with the digital answering system), but the smaller individual units (as pictured) do have the headset plug. As information, I do like this system. One of the reasons I ordered it is because of the Silent mode. If you do not want to hear the phone ring, you can push the silent mode button and the answering machine will still answer the call - but none of the units nor the base will ring.

Yes headset plugs in on the left side of the phone. I only use this phone with a headset.

If you have call waiting, and you are on a call and another call comes in, it will beep. Since it only works when the phone is off hook (handset is off the phone cradle) it cannot ring when there is an incoming call. The phone will ring, and then you need to remove the handset from the phone for the headset to connect. I think that with the handset lifter you can answer and pick up the call from the headset, but I do not have the lifter so I cannot answer fully. The Plantronics website has more details on how this works

No. It does not. Moreover, if it keeps connected to a device is more than enough. Although i rated it high initially, now i am really frustrated with this headset. It stopped charging so i have to send it to harman kardon. And it is over 2 months now, i have not received a replacement. I am still talking to them to give me a replacement but they say it is out of stock. Don't buy this product as it is very fragile. I handle all my things very carefully and they last for years, this did not even last for a year.

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.

What the "users' manual" doesn't tell you is to hold the power switch until you hear a brief tone indicating the headset is powered and operating - about 1 to 2 seconds..

no it doesn't. I don't know any bluetooth headset that works while plugged in. its a safety feature

As long as the case has a charge, it appears to keep the headset charged to capacity as I've seen. Personally I prefer this as the last thing I want is to pull out the headset only to find that I forgot to tell the case the recharge the headset and find that the headset dead. Please note that when either the case, or if the headset is in the case, they both have a charge level indicator on the case to indicate their individual charge levels. If either is low, the LED light blinks red so you know which needs to be recharged. Leaving the headset in the case and recharging the case will recharge both. Hope that helps.

not on the headset itself. that is more of a software issue for your softphone; i.e. Cisco Jabber, Lync, etc.
