* pairing a telephone headset to your telephone

Different telephone terminals have very different requirements, some telephones have direct headset jack, some telephones may even have volume amplifications for headset, but there are many telephones that do not. If your telephone does not support direct headset input, you will need a telephone amplifier to pair with your telephone headset.
