Can you answer the phone on this headset being away from your desk

Yes, but you need a handset lifter. http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-GN1000-Remote-Handset-Deskphone/dp/B00008UAIO On my second headset, first lasted over a decade, but oringal handset lifter. Middle button on headset lifts and replaces the handset. Super units. Work on the phone 8 hours a day. Headset is comfortable and can be used on the right or left ear.

Yes... but you need the handset raising option. Once that's installed, there's a button on the headset that activates the raising arm to answer the phone, and hangs it up remotely as well. I had this working on one job, answering the office phone from the warehouse, and it worked just great.

Not really. There are addon devices that allow for this. But this is primarily for at the desk answering. But for the money this is a very good device. This is my second. The first one lasted about 9 years.

Bonnie, that will depend on the hardware available with your corded desk phone. This headset requires a headphone "jack". Most desksets utilize a variation of the standard 4-wire handset cord to connect the phone base unit to a headset base unit, into which both the headset and handset are then plugged. This will not work for that arrangement. The jack is either 2.5mm or 3.5mm (I don't have it here with me at work) and so requires that type of receiver socket in the phone. I use this on my wireless phone at home, but I discovered that the jack is too small to work with my cell phone. Hope this helps.

Not at all. And once you answer the call you can continue the conversation with the cover closed because it doesn't cover the listen speakers or the microphone.

NO. There is a different model that does that. The one that has the headset on the same base as the answering machine.

Yeah you could do that. There is a bit of feedback if you put it around your neck too close to the headset - so just set it on your belt.

You must be at your telephone. When you are away from your telephone with the head on, you can only answer and hang up the 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.

If you ordered the phone lifter then you can answer it with your headset. If you don't then you will have to lift the handset.

Not on the actual headset. But on the phone I can control the volume and pause the music

Yes you can, sitting at my desk I had no trouble hearing and the other end said it was just fine. Outside may be a different story

There is a cord that plugs from the base unit to the phone itself along with a power cord. The earpiece is wireless. There are adapters that make the earpiece so that you can wear it over the ear or over the head. I can walk all around our office and still answer the phone. The earpiece will not work if you walk outside away from the base. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. It is not a soundproof headset meaning you can still hear people and sounds (doorbells!) that are away from you.

There are adapters which will convert the plug from the headset to a phone. That said, it won't function as surround-sound and whatnot since that feature comes from the audio hardware in the base. You can use it will a phone though to make calls and whatnot.

I mute mine using my phone. I am not sure if you can do it from the headset itself.
899608
No! That feature is base on the phone it is paired with. The headset itself does NOT have that capability.

Yes you can. There are separate mike and headphone connections to the PC. Also, there is a mute switch on the headset itself.
