headset jack is located on the left side of the handset and the other headset
jack is located on the left side of the base. The audio jack is located on the
left side of the base. These jacks are amplified, allowing you to adjust both
the tone and volume the same as you would through the handset (see page 34 for
amplification instructions). The Audio Neckloop Jack – the 3.5mm Audio
Neckloop jack allows you to listen through your device while speaking into the
speakerphone. The Headset Jack the 2.5mm Headset jack allows you to listen
and speak through your hands-free headset. This 2.5mm phone headset jack
accommodates a variety of optional handsfree accessories including headphones,
neckloops, silhouettes, and cellular accessories. When a 2.5mm audio device is
plugged in, the incoming audio signal to the handset will now be transferred
to the headset jack. No output on the handset or speakerphone will be heard.
