- Securing the Lifter: Use the provided self-stick adhesive strips to firmly attach the lifter to your phone base unit. This prevents movement during operation.

6. Maintenance
The HL10 Handset Lifter is designed for durability and reliability. To ensure its longevity:
- Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid exposing the lifter to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the area around the lifter and handset is clear of obstructions to allow for smooth operation.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HL10 Handset Lifter, consider the following:
- Lifter Not Activating: Check all cable connections between the lifter and the headset base unit. Ensure the headset is powered on and properly paired. Verify the lifter's height adjustment is correct for your phone's handset.
- Intermittent Operation: Ensure the adhesive strips are securely holding the lifter in place. Any movement can affect its ability to consistently lift the handset.
- No Ring Detection (Advanced): Some users have reported issues with ring detection. While not officially recommended, a user-reported solution for certain models involves carefully snipping a small wire connected to the lifter's microphone for ring detection. This should only be considered if other troubleshooting steps fail and you understand it may affect warranty.
