Question: I like the sound of my HW291N headset but is there an inexpensive way to connect it to my computer?  Also, I want it to be able to connect to the USB port on my computer.

Solution: You don’t have to look very far, my friend.  Plantronics has a very simple user-friendly solution — the DA40 USB adapter.  The DA40 USB adapter is the most economical enterprise-class solution available for connecting your headset to a computer.  This entry-level solution fits into contact centers and enterprises anywhere and everywhere.  Its high-quality audio translates to smoother, more concise customer communications and improved satisfaction for the user.  And don’t let the term entry-level fool you, the DA40 USB adapter offers wideband compatibility for crisp audio sound and lower listener fatigue.  This low cost adapter works with all Plantronics H-series headsets, including the latest wideband models, to deliver outstanding audio quality, reliability and a choice of wearing styles, something you don’t see even in higher priced brands.  Connecting up the plug-and-play USB adapter cord is as simple as… well, plug and play.  Now you’re free to experience the legendary quality of a Plantronics headset.

Contact the sales team at Headsets Direct (800-914-7996) to learn more about the DA40 USB adapter, the DA60 upgrade or any of the latest headsets from Plantronics for the office, your home or on the go.

	1) A10 Direct Cable (66268-03) - This cable is used for 75% of the applications for corded headsets.  What this means is if you have done the compatibility check for your phone and model and this was recommended, it will plug into your headset jack.  This will then hook with a quick disconnect to the corded headset that will also have a quick disconnect on the end of the cord.
	2) Amplifier / Cisco Direct Connect Cord (26716-01) – This is used on most Cisco telephones, after you have reviewed the compatibility check to verify that this will be the correct cable. This is for a corded headset, and it will plug into your headset jack on your phone. With a quick disconnect on the other end you will plug this into the corded headset that you prefer wearing.
	3) HL10 - Without this a wireless headset will really work at a less-than-perfect potential.  If I have this on my phone I am able to walk NOT run to my desk to answer the phone. This application works with most phones, however there may be some exceptions.
	4) DA40 USB - Experience wideband audio with the DA40 USB adapter.  This adapter offers wideband compatibility for crystal clear sound and lower listener fatigue.  The DA40 works well for users of soft phones, and it comes with a quick disconnect for any of the Plantronics corded headsets.
	5) 15729-05 Ear Cushions - Compatible with: H51, H51N, H61, H61N, H91, H91N, H101, H101N, SP04, SP05, PLX400, PLX500. If you are looking to stock up, these they come two in a package.  You should change out your ear cushions like you change out your toothbrush, every 3 months. Bacteria and microbes can build up over time.

Replacing your Plantronics headset accessories is a great way to keep your headset performing at its best. When ear cushions tear, your voice tube gets clogged, or your wireless battery life isn’t what it use to be is the time to make your headset like new again.

A:   Yes. And since the Voyager 510 headset is Bluetooth, there are a few possibilities. The first option which is the most cost effective and easiest way is of course if you have a newer computer that has Bluetooth built in, then all you have to do is pair it up. Our 2nd option is that you can purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter such as the Plantronics BUA-100, this adapter will plug into a usb port on your computer and will pair up to your 510 headset. This is a nice clean solution because it is “plug, pair, and play”… And you won’t have to add another cable to the collection that you already have on your desk. Our 3rd option is to use our Headsets Direct PC/Phone headset switch (05344-42). Now this is a corded solution that will connect your 510S base to your computer and your telephone. This will not be as seamless to use as a USB Bluetooth adapter, but the advantage to this option is that it will connect almost any of the Plantronics wireless and corded systems to your computer, and it will even let you use your regular telephone handset if you would. So check out the options on our website, and of course we are only a phone call away to answer any questions that you may have.  

A: Yes, you will need an adapter for the USB connection, any of our “DA” series adapters will work or the computer soundboard cable (item 28959-01).
