Headset set-up
Your headset comes fully assembled. You can adjust the headband for a bet-
ter fit and the mouthpiece for optimal performance.
Adjust the headband
1 To adjust the headband, lengthen or shorten the band until it fits comfortably. The click-stop
feature keeps the headband securely adjusted.
2 Position the headset so that the leather ear cushion(s) sit comfortably over the centre of your
ear(s). For the C510 headset, position the stabiliser T-bar above your ear.
3 For a tighter fit, gently pull the opposite end of the headset inwards as shown.
Adjust the mouthpiece
1 Carefully bend and shape the boom with both hands as shown. Avoid bending or twisting the
boom near the microphone or earpiece.
2 Position the click-stop turret and boom so that the microphone is two finger widths from the
corner of your mouth.

This section describes how to connect the base to your desk phone.
Connect the power
Plug one end of the power supply into the power jack on the back of the base and the other end
into a working power outlet. The power on LED will be solid white.
Charge the headset
Place the headset in the charging cradle. The charging LED on the base will flash green when
charging and turn solid green when the headset is fully charged. Charge for at least 20 minutes
prior to the first use. A full charge takes 3 hours.

Connect and configure your desk phone
There are three set-up options for connecting the CS510A/CS520A 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.

Check configuration and make a test call
1 If your desk phone has a volume control, set it to mid-range.
2 Look at the bottom panel of your base and make sure the default settings are correct. Set your
desk phone’s volume as well.
listening volume dial ( ) = 2 and speaking volume dial ( ) = 2
configuration switch = A
desk phone volume = mid-range
3 Remove the handset from the desk phone cradle.
4 While wearing your headset, press the call control button on the headset.
5 If you do not hear a dial tone, adjust the configuration switch (A-G) until you do.
NOTE For most phones, these factory default settings will sound the best.
6 Dial a test call from the desk phone. If needed, fine-tune the volume with the headset volume
controls. You can also adjust the desk phone speaking and listening volumes on the bottom of
the base.
