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.

controls. You can also adjust the desk phone speaking and listening volumes on the bottom of  
the base.

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 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 switch to  
green for wideband.  
Set the switch to red (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 red you must press the headset call button to answer an incoming call.  
When Auto Answer is set to green 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.
