Know before you buy
The APV-6A allows you to answer and end calls remotely using your wireless headset. It acts as a digital bridge between your Avaya phone and your headset, removing the need for a mechanical handset lifter.
This cord is designed for a variety of Avaya digital and IP phones, including the 1408, 1616, 9608, and 9650 series. We recommend verifying your specific phone model's port configuration before purchase to ensure compatibility.
No, the APV-6A replaces the need for an HL-10 lifter. Because it integrates electronically with your phone system, it provides a cleaner, more reliable connection without any moving parts.
This cord is specifically compatible with the Plantronics CS series, including the CS50, CS70, and CS361N models. It is intended to streamline call management for these specific wireless units.
Installation is straightforward, as the cord uses a standard RJ11 connector to link your headset base directly to the phone's headset port. Once connected, you may need to adjust your phone's settings to enable EHS functionality.
