Handset lifter
A Handset lifter is a device that automatically lifts or replaces a handset off/on a telephone. It is usually connected to a wireless headset.[1]
Operation[edit]
Allows cordless headset use on technically primitive desk phones. Some phones only have a mechanical means of switch hook operation. The lifter allows cordless headsets to be used remotely with such phones. The phone user presses the appropriate headset button to either answer a call or terminate a call. The headset's base station's interface with the handset lifter will take the appropriate action - lift or replace the handset.[2]
Additional Information[edit]
The use of a handset lifter is considered archaic by most technical professionals. Technology from decades ago eliminated the need for such device, however many phones, including modern IP phones, still do not have discrete circuitry for switch hook operation.[3][4] However, a handset lifter can be a useful accessory for improving accessibility for a disabled person who must use a telephone with a mechanical handset.[5]
