how to install Poly CS540A Headset With Handset Lif

Step 1: Unpack the CS540A and the base station. Place the base on a stable surface near your desk phone or computer, and connect the power cable to a powered outlet. If you plan to use a desk phone, attach the appropriate line cord from the base to your desk phone. If you plan to use a computer or softphone, ensure you have the necessary USB adapters as recommended by Poly documentation.

Step 2: If you are using the handset lifter, install the lifter accessory beneath your desk phone per the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the lifter to the base unit as directed to enable automatic handset lifting when you answer calls. This step helps streamline call handling in busy environments.

Step 3: Put the headset on and adjust the headband to a comfortable fit. Tilt the microphone boom into the optimal position near your mouth and test the microphone sensitivity. Adjust the ear cushion position for a secure seal without pressure.

Step 4: Charge the headset and base fully before first use. If your setup requires pairing or registration with a base, follow the on-screen prompts or the instruction manual to complete the pairing process. Confirm the wireless link is established, and you should see indicators on the base confirming connectivity.

Step 5: Test call quality by placing a test call. Speak into the microphone at your normal speaking level and verify that your voice sounds clear on the other end. Adjust microphone placement, headset volume, and mute controls to suit your environment. If using a desk phone, verify line presence and call control responses from the base.

Tips for optimal performance: Keep the base within line of sight of the headset for the strongest signal. Use the headset in environments with typical office acoustics, avoiding heavy interference. Regularly check for firmware updates from Poly to ensure you have the latest enhancements for call quality, reliability, and security.
