3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the Jabra GN1000 is crucial for optimal performance. Follow these steps carefully:

3.2 Attaching the Lifter to the Phone

  1. Clean the surface of your desk phone where the lifter will be attached.
  2. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive tape on the bottom of the GN1000 unit.
  3. Carefully position the lifter so that the lifting arm aligns with the handset. Press firmly to secure it.
  4. Attach the handset bar (if applicable) to the underside of your phone's handset, ensuring it aligns with the lifter's arm. This bar provides a stable point for the lifter to engage.

3.3 Connecting the Ringer Sensor

The ringer sensor detects incoming calls and signals your wireless headset. It typically attaches to the phone's speaker or a location where the ring tone is clearly audible.

  • Locate the small microphone on the GN1000 unit or its cable.
  • Attach this microphone to the speaker area of your desk phone using its adhesive backing.
  • Connect the ringer sensor cable to the designated port on the GN1000 unit or your Jabra wireless headset base.

3.4 Connecting to the Headset Base

Connect the GN1000 unit to your Jabra wireless headset base station using the provided cable. Refer to your specific Jabra wireless headset manual for the correct port on the base unit.

3.5 Adjusting Lift Height and Ringer Sensitivity

The GN1000 features adjustments for optimal performance:

  • Lift Height Adjustment: A control slide or dial on the unit allows you to adjust how high the handset is lifted. Adjust this so the handset is fully off the hook but not excessively high.
  • Ringer Sensitivity: A dial on the unit controls the sensitivity of the ringer sensor. Adjust this to ensure reliable detection of incoming calls without false triggers.
