  Tiffany WebsterJul 26, 2025
  If callers cannot hear you when using Avaya Headsets, there are several possible solutions: * Ensure all cords and jacks are correctly connected. * Verify the base has power (the power indicator is red) and the headset battery is fully charged. * Try different telephone configuration dial settings on the base unit, ensuring the selected number aligns with the horizontal position indicator. * Make sure you are in headset mode by pressing the talk button. The talk indicator light on the base should be green. * Adjust the listen volume master setting on the base. * Increase the speak volume fine-tune on the base unit. If the volume remains too low, increase the talk volume master setting on the bottom of the base unit. * Also, check that the mute function is off.

  There are several reasons why you might hear beeps in your Avaya headset: * **Low battery:** Recharge the battery by placing it in the base charge cradle for one to three hours until the charge light stays lit or stops blinking. * **Out of range:** Move closer to the base. * **Mute is on:** Press the mute control dial once to turn mute off. * **Incoming call (with lifter):** If an optional lifter is connected, three repetitive beeps indicate an incoming call. Press the talk button on the headset to answer.
