Customise your headset
Customise the headset by changing the ear tip, wearing it on the right or left
and optimising the position of the microphone
Change the ear tip
1 The headset comes with a pre-installed ear tip. To install a different ear tip see the following:
Remove the pre-installed ear tip by pushing in and turning the ear tip CLOCKwise, then pull
firmly.
2 Choose the size and style of ear tip that fits most comfortably. Align ear tip tabs with notches
in headset. Push in firmly and twist COUNTER clockwise.
NOTE When installing a gel tip ensure the raised part of the ear tip is pointed toward the curved
section of the headset as shown.
Position your headset
When you wear the headset, the microphone should rest as close to your cheek as possible
without touching. The microphone can be adjusted inward by the pivoting earpiece to optimize
the position of the headset.
1 Slide the headset over and behind your ear, then press gently toward your ear.

2 Rotate the microphone boom until it is pointed toward your mouth.
Left ear wearing
1 The headset can be converted for wearing on left ear as follows:
2 Turn microphone boom around.
3 Rotate microphone boom down.

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 charge 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 setup options for connecting the CS530A 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.
