Most Cisco phones have a headset port where you can connect a headset using a special direct connect cable. This allows you to use your headset without touching the handset (receiver). However, when using an amplifier and headset combination, like the S11, you will need to connect through the HANDSET port. You disconnect the handset cable from the phone, connect the S11 cable into that port and connect the handset cable into the back of the S11 amplifier. Be sure to follow the illustrations on the back of the amplifier when connecting the cables. Also, adjust the configuration slide on the left of the amplifier for the best possible dial tone. Remember that in order to access a call or make a call, you will have to lift the handset off the phone and set it aside (switch hook needs to be activated).

Good Luck from Headsets Direct!

I can hear callers through my s11 plantronics headset but after using and trying all configuration no.'s they can't hear me at all

Make sure the Plantronics S11 headset is plugged into your handset jack on your phone, not the headset jack, this will make a difference on most phones. After plugging the S11 into the handset jack on your phone, you will need to pick up your handset receiver and sit it off to the side of the phone to place a call or to receive a call, after you are finished with your call sit the handset receiver back in the cradle on your phone.

I have the Plantronics S11 headset and I can hear callers, but they can't hear me, I need to know what to do. The phone is working fine and everything is all set up correctly as far as I can tell.

There are a couple of basic things to check first. You want to make sure the mute is turned off and your outgoing (mic) volume is loud enough (there is the speak level switch on the side and the speak volume control on top). Also, you want to make sure it is connected through the handset jack on the phone (generally it will not work through the headset jack on the phone). Finally you want to make sure it's configured right (scale located on the side).

I have tried all configurations settings with my new Plantronics S11 headset, and with some I can hear on the headset, but the caller can't hear me. With others the caller can hear me, but I can't...


You need to remember a couple of things when using amplifiers and headsets. Normally they will not work if you connect them to a phone with cordless accessories. Also, you need to make sure that you're connecting the amplifier to the HANDSET jack on the phone (this requires removing the handset off of the phone to access an open line). Give that a try and you should be fine. If not, contact your retailer or Plantronics at 800-544-4660 x5538 for warranty service.

I have a Plantronics C610 headset. The caller can hear me, but I can not hear the caller.

Here are a couple of things you can try. I included the link for the user guide below.

Callers cannot hear me.
• Headset is muted. Press the mute button on headset to unmute the microphone.
• Headset microphone boom aligned incorrectly. Align the headset boom with your mouth.
• The USB adapter is not set as the default Voice device. Use the Voice settings in Windows under Sounds and Voice Devices to select "Plantronics C610/C620" as the voice device.

Here is a link to the Plantronics C610 User's Guide.

I can hear callers but they can't hear me through the headset. everything is hooked up properly.

Make sure the Plantronics S11 is plugged into the handset jack on your phone and not the headset jack. This will make a difference.

Dont know how to hook it up to phone...have S10A and S11 model plantronics corded headsets

Turn over the S11 base and insert the headset slot. This is at the top of the base. Remove the handset cord from your telephone base and plug into the handset jack (there will be a picture). Using the short cord that came with the S11, plug into the line jack on the back of your base and the other end into the slot on your telephone where you removed the handset cord. Plug the headset cord into the headset jack that is on your S11 base. Connect the the A/C power adapter to the S11 A/C jack and a wall outlet. Put on the headset. Press the handset/headset switch and pick up the handset off your telephone, set it aside to make calls. Slide the configuration switch (on the side of the S11 base) until you hear a clear dial tone.

My Headset does´nt have dialtone, I was connecting to cisco phone 7941, 7970, 7911, and nothing, not work.

You can use a Plantronics S11 headset with a Cisco phone, however it is not the best compatible solution. To use an S11 with a Cisco phone, you have to make sure that you are plugging it into the handset receiver jack and not the headset jack. You will need to lift the handset receiver, set it off to the side, and then hang it up after each call. If you want a more compatible solution that you can plug into the actual headset jack and just press the headset button on the telephone to answer and hang up, then you would need one of the Plantronics "H-series headsets" with the Plantronics Cisco direct connect cable ( model 26716-01 ).

Plantronics S11 head set does not work: hooked up properly, but non of the configuration setting yield tone. At one setting, only after the line goes into fast bipping mode (off hook for a long time) I can...

The Plantronics S11 headset system is meant to plug into the handset jack on your phone not the headset jack. Check the connection on the S11 to make sure the handset jack is where it is plugged into at.

Here are a few suggestions from Plantronics if you are not getting a dial tone:

Make sure all cable connections are correct and firmly in place.

Pay special attention that handset cord is properly connected.

Ensure AC power adapter is connected and power is on.
Make sure you have pressed the headset button and the headset indicator is on.

Make sure the telephone handset is off-hook.

Adjust listen volume control.

Adjust the compatibility slide switch.

Ensure that the headset is centered on your ear.
