Connect and Configure Your Desk Phone  
There are three setup options for connecting the CS510/CS520 to your desk phone. Select one  
of the following and continue.  
• Desk phone (standard)  
• Desk phone + HL10 lifter (sold separately)  
• Desk phone + EHS cable (sold separately)  
NOTE If you will be using a standard desk phone set up or a desk phone with an HL10 lifter, continue  
below. If you will be using the desk phone with an EHS cable, refer to Desk phone plus EHS cable  
section in this guide. For further installation information refer to the EHS Getting Started guide that  
came with your EHS cable or at plantronics.com/accessories.  
Desk Phone (standard)  
1 Connect one end of the telephone interface cable to the back of the base.  
2 Disconnect the handset coil cord from the desk phone and re-connect it to the telephone  
interface cable junction box.  
3 Connect the remaining end of the telephone interface cable into the open handset port on the  
desk phone.  
NOTE Your desk phone handset will continue to work; it’s just hooked up differently.  
USE  
NOTE If your phone has a built-in headset port, you should only use the headset port if you will not  
be using the HL10 lifter. In this configuration, you must press both the headset button on your phone  
and the call control button on the headset to answer or end calls.

1 Subscription Button  
The headset and base that came in the box are subscribed (connected) to each other. However,  
if you wish to use a new headset or need to restore subscription to your current headset, the  
units can be subscribed to each other by the following two methods.  
Automatic Secure Subscription  
With your system idle, docking a headset will automatically subscribe it to the base, making  
it the primary headset. The Power On/Subscription LED will flash white during subscription  
process and become solid white when the new subscription is established.  
Manual Over-the-Air Subscription  
1 With your system idle and your headset undocked, press and hold the subscription button on  
the base for three seconds. The Power on/subscription light will flash white.  
2 Press and hold the volume up button on the headset for three seconds until the headset LED  
turns solid white. When the Power on/subscription LED on the base becomes solid white, the  
headset and base are subscribed to one another.  
NOTE If the subscription process times out after two minutes or if the subscription process fails,  
the subscription LED on the base will go dark for three seconds and then re-illuminate steadily to  
indicate power is applied to the base. If this occurs, try to re-subscribe the headset again.  
Ending Subscription  
If the base is in subscription mode and you want to stop the base from searching for a headset,  
press the subscription button again. The subscription LED on the base will go dark for three  
seconds and then re-illuminate steadily to indicate power is applied to the base.

2 Wideband/Narrowband Audio Switch  
The CS510/CS520 has wideband audio, which allows speech to sound clearer and more natural.  
If your desk phone is capable of wideband audio, set the Wideband-Narrowband audio switch  
to yellow for wideband.  
NOTE: Talk time will be reduced when operating in wideband mode.  
Set the switch to black (narrowband) for longer headset battery life or to increase the number  
of systems that can work in a small area.  
3 Auto Answer Switch  
Auto answer saves a button press to establish the radio link between headset and base. When  
auto answer is set to black you must press the headset call control button to answer an  
incoming call.  
When Auto Answer is set to gray you can answer a call just by lifting headset from the base.  
NOTE Auto answer/end capability requires the use of an EHS cable or HL10 lifter. Visit  
plantronics.com/accessories for more information.

Conference Up to Three Additional Headsets  
You can conference up to three additional headsets to a call in progress.  
Join a Conference Call  
While in an active link between the primary headset and the base (on a call), place the guest  
headset into the primary user’s charge cradle (this connects the headset to the base). The base  
subscription LED will begin flashing. After a few moments, the primary user will hear a triple  
tone in their headset indicating the guest headset wishes to join the call. Within ten seconds of  
hearing the triple tone, press the primary headset’s call button to accept the guest headset. If  
the process fails or times out because the button was not pressed within ten seconds the guest  
subscription is terminated and the guest will hear an error tone in their headset.  
To connect a guest headset that is of different variety than the primary headset press the base  
subscription button while the base has an active link. Next, press the guest headset volume  
up button until the indicator light turns on. The base subscription LED will begin flashing and  
the primary user will hear a triple tone in their headset indicating the guest headset wishes  
to join the call. Within ten seconds of hearing the triple tone, press the primary headset’s call  
button to accept the guest headset. If the process fails or times out because the button was  
not pressed within ten seconds the guest subscription is terminated and the guest will hear an  
error tone in their headset.  
NOTE Headsets in a conference maintain independent mute controls. The base only indicates the  
primary user’s mute state.  
Exit a Conference Call  
Guests headsets can remain as guests through multiple calls. To remove a guest headset, press  
the guest headset’s call control button or dock the primary user’s headset in the charge cradle.  
A single tone in the master headset will be heard as each guest leaves the call.  
NOTE The user of the primary headset in a multiple headset conference scenario may hear  
additional tones (triple tones) in their headset and see the subscription LED on the base flash as  
guest headsets join the call. These additional tones and flashing LED indicate that the guest headset  
has a different version of firmware than the primary headset, but can still be used for conferencing.
