Cisco Headset Hookswitch Control Adapter
For Cisco Unified IP Phone models 7975G, 7965G, 7945G, 7962G, and 7942G

QUICK START GUIDE

WELCOME/INFORMA TION
Welcome! This Quick Start Guide provides information for the installation and use of the Headset Hookswitch Control (HHC) adapter compatible with Cisco Unified IP Phone models 7975G, 7965G, 7945G, 7962G, and 7942G. The HHC adapter enables wireless electronic hookswitch control and telephone ringer alert for Plantronics CS50, CS60, CS70, DECT headset families and Voyager 510 Bluetooth headsets.

Installation

Connect the HHC adapter as shown in the diagram. Consult the headset user documentation that came with the headset for further details regarding installation. HHC software functionality must first be enabled through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration application. Contact your system administrator to activate this feature.
Important Safety Information
Please read the following instructions before use: The HHC adapter is suitable for indoor use only. Use only with Plantronics CS50, CS60, CS70 and Plantronics Voyager 510S wireless headsets and Cisco Unified IP Phones, 7975G, 7965G, 7945G, 7962G, and 7942G. Do not spill liquid of any type on the product. Do not immerse in any type of liquid. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble this product yourself. Keep all products, cords and cables away from operating machinery
USING THE CISCO HHC ADAPTER
Ring Alert Signal: The HHC adapter automatically sends a ring alert signal to the headset when the phone rings. Headset Hookswitch Control: The HHC adapter facilitates hookswitch control remotely, eliminating the need to remove and replace the handset when placing, receiving, or ending a call. To place, receive or end a call, press the Call Control Button on the headset - the phone will go off and on-hook electronically. Consult the headset user documentation that came with the headset for further details on operation.

WIRELESS SAFETY

WHITE PAPER

DECT & BLUETOOTH SAFETY OVERVIEW
DECT and Bluetooth are both short-range radio technology which transmit at a much lower output power than a typical mobile phone. According to current scientic knowledge, there are no known health risks associated with DECT or Bluetooth headsets and the power they transmit falls well below permissible safety limits.
GUIDANCE FOR DECT (CS60, CS70 & SUPRAPLUS WIRELESS)
Transmit Output Power A typical 900MHz GSM mobile phone has an average power of up to 250mW. An typical DECT telephony handset Transmit power is much less at just 10.43mW (250mW x (417us /10000us)) whilst a Plantronics DECT headset Transmit power is typically a mere 0.26mW (6.3mW x (417us /10000us). Bluetooth headsets transmit at even lower levels, given a range of 10m versus up to 100m for DECT. Put another way, Plantronics DECT and Bluetooth headsets output about 0.1% of the transmit power of a typical mobile phone and 2.5% of the power of a typical DECT handset.

SAFETY LIMITS AND SAR

For radio devices it has become standard to measure the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) of the product. SAR testing is an effective method of quantifying the amount of energy absorbed into biological tissue, particularly the human body. The majority of SAR testing is focused on the head where the current limits for uncontrolled exposure are 2W/kg for 10g Volume Averaged SAR for Europe, Japan and Korea. A SAR value is not usually specied for DECT or Bluetooth headsets as the transmit power is so low as to guarantee a SAR value well below the basic test limits. As such, these headsets meet the exclusion conditions of the European Standards for this type of testing, such as ES 59005 and EN50360/EN50361. Although there is no requirement to do so, Plantronics has commissioned independent testing, with results clearly showing that the SAR levels are far below those required to comply with international standards: SAR for a mobile phone: typically 0.3 to 1.5 W/kg for 10g Volume Averaged SAR for a Plantronics CS60 DECT headset: 0.0006 W/kg for 10g Volume Averaged SAR for a Plantronics M3000 Bluetooth headset 0.03 W/kg for 10g Volume Averaged The above gures show that a typical Plantronics Bluetooth or DECT headset operates at in the range of just 0.03% to 1.5% of the recommended European SAR limit. Considering typical mobiles phones operate in the range between 15% and 75% of the SAR limit, it can clearly be seen that headsets are very low powered.
In fact, the SAR values for headsets are so low that accurate measurement is actually quite difcult. Plantronics Bluetooth and DECT headsets comply with relevant global standards. Throughout the European Union, the relevant standard for mobile phones and other devices worn close to the head is EN 50360. An additional factor to consider is that all current specications require testing to be performed at the maximum power of the device. In most scenarios, when Bluetooth headsets are worn outside of a phone call, for instance when a user is expecting an incoming call, the headset goes into a very low average power mode, signicantly decreasing RF exposure over longer periods. DECT headsets use a listening mode when not on an active call, so do not transmit at all in these situations. The following organizations have set exposure limits for acceptable RF safety via SAR levels, based on thorough examination of scientic evidence: The American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), based in Munich, a non-prot making scientic body. In the UK, the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB). Standards of measurement have been set by: European Committee for Electro technical Standardisation (CENELEC) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
