What does the lifter do? Does it do more than just physically lift of the ear piece?

It lifts the handset off the phone so that you can answer and disconnect a call without being at your desk.
1839893
The lifter lifts your handset when you go to you use the headset, required on the wireless headsets.

It lifts the handset up to make the phone go off-hook when the Headset button is pushed to answer a call. It all has an adapter to listen for ring tone if the phone does not transmit it through the cord.

This headset connects between the cord of the handset and the base. As long as your phone is corded, then this will work. If you include the lifter with this headset, then you will need to make sure that your base physically has a place to sit under the handset. If you only use the headset, then all you need to do is lift the handset and press the button on the earpiece.

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

You don't need the handset lifter. There is a jack on the back of the phone for a headset. You push the headset button and go.

I'll typically raise the ear piece of my cheater glasses above the plantronics hardware that goes over the top of the ear. The two do not comfortably lay against the same part of my head. Not a big problem for me though. I frequently forget that I have the plantronics on my ear and walk out of the office with it on... & i always wear my cheaters when at my desk.

It has volume control on the ear piece, up & down which is better the older model. That was like a guessing game. I had few of them too.

It adjusts the sound level in your headphones. I'm not aware that it makes the microphone (the part you speak into) more sensitive. This is the second one I've bought, by the way. I have some hearing deficits, and having the headset really helps as well as freeing up my hands to take notes or work with documents.

The headband part expands so the ear pieces can reach further down. Hope that helps.

This device is AWESOME!!!! On average I spend 4-5 hours on the phone everyday (technical sales person) and could not survive without this device. It is great for doing more than simply telephone - like music! It can easily be used in either ear with no additional hardware. It rotates in order to fit on either ear. Hope this helps!

The Plantronics headset lifter has a specific port (headphone jack) that this light plugs into, that is meant for this light. If your headset does NOT have a port for an online indicator light, then the easy answer is no. However, if it does, you need to confirm the wiring, ampacity, and voltage of that port for its compatibility... Beyond that I do not know.

The unit operates by putting the hearing aid in a closed compartment and heating up the air in that compartment. This leads to lowering the humidity in the chamber which promotes the evaporation of any moisture in the hearing aid. If you can get your ear into the chamber it would work but what will you do with the rest of your head?

Yes. Add that with the booster, you better not be holding it close to your ear or fine crystal. :-)

Hi, I used it with audio books. It didn't increase the volume dramatically. But you can locate it closer to your ear which helps.

Almost nothing. Only good for moderate hearing loss. The "Tweak" unit works much better for severe hearing loss and is 100 dollars cheaper. Both are quality units.

I belive it does other wise how else are you able to crank up the volume. I'm no expert in these matters.

Not necessarily, it depends on your system and setup. We have Polycom Soundpoint VOIP units with the EHS (electronic hook switch) cable. This allows us to start and end calls with the headset button on the phone, the button the headset unit itself and the headser base station. this work for us with no lifter. The busy light plugs into the headset base unit and will light when the headset is active and shutoff when the headset is deactivated. The only thing to know is the bust light will not turn on if you answer the call using the handset.

The lifter lifts the handset when you remove the headset from the charger or when the answer button on the headset is pressed. This is great when you are not close to the phone itself.
