jack on the lifter. 
2. Remove the protective strip from the adhesive tape on the 
auxiliary ring detector. 
3. Stick the auxiliary ring detector to the center of the corded

The internal or auxiliary ring detector detects the telephone 
ringer and sends a ring tone to the headset earpiece. 
If you installed the lifter over the top of the corded phone 
speaker, the internal ring detector will recognize when the 
phone rings. However, if your corded phone speaker is located 
elsewhere on the phone, stick the auxiliary ring detector to the 
speaker, as shown below.

About internal and auxiliary ring detectors
Adjust the sensitivity level
The default setting of the ring detector works with most corded 
telephones. However, the ring detector might need some 
adjustments if the ring tone level of your corded phone is too 
soft.
To adjust the ring detector sensitivity while the telephone  
is ringing:
Turn the SENSOR ADJ knob clockwise to 
increase the sensitivity. 
Turn the SENSOR ADJ knob 
counterclockwise to decrease  
the sensitivity. 
When the ring detector detects the telephone ringer correctly:
The STATUS light on the lifter flashes quickly when the 
telephone rings. 
The detector sends the ring tone to the headset earpiece.

Ring detector on/off
When the ring detector detects an incoming call, it sends a ring 
tone to the headset earpiece.
Press the RING ON/OFF button on the 
lifter to turn the ring detector on or 
off. The STATUS light is blue when the 
ring detector is turned on. The STATUS 
light is red when the ring detector is 
turned off.
When the ring detector is turned off, 
it does not send a ring tone to the 
headset. The  light on the headset 
does not flash when there is an 
incoming call.
NOTE: When you are using the speakerphone of your telephone, the ring detector may send a ring tone to the headset. If you do not want the headset to ring, press the RING ON/OFF button to turn the ring detector off. After the call, you can press the RING ON/OFF button again to turn the ring detector back on.
