When using the CLA3 headset with a ordinary desk phone do you leave the corded handset on the phone? Are both connected?

Both are connected, but not cannot be used simultaneously. At least on my phone there is a button to push if you wish to use the headset. While using the headset the corded headset and speaker phone are inoperative.

Yes, each handset has a headset jack. We recommend you use the Panasonic KX-TCA60, KX-TCA93, KX-TCA400, and KX-TCA430 headsets.

No no one has complained about the phone being too quiet. I use the handset, speaker phone and a 3rd party wired Hands-Free Headset.

The headset piggybacks on the handset cord, so anything that you can do with a handset can be done with the headset. I use multiple lines on my phone with this.

Hi, I too got the same question since this is an important info missing in the technical details and top reviews.. However when I checked all the reviews here , I saw two customers wrote of having been able to connect headset with this fone. But the most helpful to me was this : "I use a headset for handsfree work but the problem was that could not connect both cell and headset simultaneously. Thus, could only answer cell calls with handset or landline calls with headset. Get most of my calls to cell number so it was a big inconvenience to lose the headset/handsfree."

Hello,,I have bought two of these units and your headset plugs into the unit, then you plug the units cord into the phone. The unit boosts the volume pretty well, for the price,,and uses button batteries. I like mine well.

It has to be attached to a hard phone. You can attach it to a cordless phone- but the headset itself is not cordless.

This headset is used in place of your phone handset. When you unplug the handset and plug in the headset when you answer a call you can lift the handset out of the cradle and then to hang up just put the handset back down. It takes a bit of getting used to but that is how it works. It's old style. But the set is very clear and comfortable. If you are using this headset then you have an older phone so you don't get any of the bells and whistles like a touch disconnect.

It should work fine, as the CLA7-V2 has a variety of cords, including for 2.5 jacks. You should be hands-free, using the microphone that is built into the neckloop.

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.

Sorry, can't answer that question. The headset has the same plug at the end as a telephone handset uses.

Headset is used when speakerphone is off. Just like a handset. Headset plugs in ti phone and can be used hands-free.

We want the front desk to use the headset, but the rest of the office uses handsets conneted to the same lines. If we take the phone off the hook, won't it disable the other phones? If the front desk uses one line and it is busy, the call automatically jumps to the next line. Will they still ring on the other lines, so someone else in the office can still pick up and answer the call?

Cordless Handset has a Port for a Headset on the Side of the Cordless Handset. (Headset does Not come with the phone.) (No port on base.)

No, connecting the headset does not disable the handset. There is a button on the headset base to turn the headset on and off--like a toggle switch between the headset and handset. Very easy to switch back and forth. However, when you want to use the headset, the handset does have to be out of the cradle. (Put the headset on, then pick up the handset for the line to connect. I have a wall phone at work, so I just hang the handset on top of the phone base until I want to end the call.)

Hey, you can't make a call with just the headset. you have to use your phone. I will like to recommended you to buy it tho. It's one of the best I have ever use. I'm being honest with you bro. I never had a problem with it.
