No matter how many times you ask yourself, and all the other drivers out on the road, to please be careful, look where you are driving, you do the same thing almost every time you drive somewhere.  I have pulled out of my driveway, and then looked to see if someone else was pulling out. One time we looked like a well-rehearsed commercial.  I have broken that habit, thank you very much. I tell myself to look at the head bangers in the car next to me and wonder how they can hear a siren even if it was right next to them. It is NOT just kids, it is all ages. Singing at the top of your voice, going over the agenda on what you need to do, even though you have a written note next to you, as well as driving directions.  Oh, I want to hear that new CD I just got on my Ipod. STOP! You can make a difference.  I have a new headset, the M1100 from Plantronics.  Distracted driving, we all live it, drive it, and accept it. One in six highway deaths are attributed to just this cause alone. How tragic that this is happening, not just to the young people, but to the 30-39 year olds who had the highest proportion of cell phone involvement.

In 2009, there were 30,797 fatal crashes in the United States which involved 45,230 drivers.  Today it is worse than ever.  Just the other day a school bus crashed, why? Texting while driving.  If you are working, your cell phone needs to be turned off. If your cell phone is part of your job, and your job includes traveling, use a headset.

There are advantages to having a headset that will do the work for you. Voice texting is one of them. You don’t have to have a smart phone to use this program, it is part of the one year free service that comes from Plantronics Vocalyst.  You don’t have to remove your hands to answer a call. Simply say “answer” or ignore. Voice recognition for calling, “call Sue”, then Sue is called. If Sue does not answer I can send her text, by voice, never once having to pick up my phone, scroll through contacts, dial her number, oops, almost ran over the bike left in the road. One second is all it takes to be distracted, one second to regret looking away from the road.

Don’t be the distracted person, be responsible, and wear a headset. Be a leader with your friends, insist on them being used. Make a mountain with your voice, be proactive in your community, and let your voice be heard through your Bluetooth.

I ordered the HL10 Handset Lifter as a replacement for one that broke after two years of operation. The replacement is 99% the same, I say 99% because of one small problem, the 3.5mm plug is different…

Unfortunately it can really be easy to get the wrong plug type when you don’t know or don’t realize that you have a choice in lifters.  Plantronics actually does make two different versions of the HL10 Handset Lifter; the standard HL10 Handset Lifter (Plantronics part number 60961-32) and the HL10 “straight plug” Handset Lifter (Plantronics part number 60961-35).  They both go by the same “HL10” model, but they have different manufacturer part numbers.  The only difference between the two versions is the shape and design of the actual 3.5mm plug on the end of the cable; the standard HL10 lifter has a 90 degree angled plug, while the HL10 “straight plug” lifter has a longer straight plug with no angles.

The standard Plantronics HL10 Handset Lifter (Plantronics part number 60961-32) was designed to be used with the Plantronics wireless headset systems that have the lifter jack on the bottom of the base unit, such as the Plantronics CS50, CS55, CS70, CS70N, CS351, CS351N, CS361, CS361N, Voyager 510S, AWH-54, etc.  The standard HL10 Handset Lifter (part number 60961-32) is the more universal plug model and therefore will also work on the newer Plantronics CS500 series and the Plantronics Savi W700 series headset systems as well (the lifter jack on the newer wireless headset models is located on the back of the base unit, as opposed to the older units where it is located on the bottom).

The Plantronics HL10 “straight plug” Handset Lifter (Plantronics part number 60961-35) was designed to be used with the newer Plantronics wireless headset systems that have the lifter jack on the back of the base unit such as; Plantronics Savi WO100, Savi WO200, Savi WO300, and Savi WO350; the newer “CS” models, CS510, CS520, CS540; and the newer Savi models, W710, W720, W730, and W740.  Although the Plantronics HL10 “straight plug” Handset Lifter (part number 60961-35) was made specifically to work with these newer headset models, just remember that you can still use the standard HL10 Handset Lifter (part number 60961-32) on these too.  So as long as your existing Handset Lifter is working fine, you can upgrade your headset without needing to upgrade your HL10 Handset Lifter.

However if you have the Plantronics HL10 “straight plug” Handset Lifter (part number 60961-35), it will technically work with the older headset models that have the lifter jack on the bottom of the base unit, but it will not fit properly.  And you may be able to buy an aftermarket 3.5mm extension cable that has a 90 degree plug that will better adapt the HL10 “straight plug” to the older Plantronics headset system, that way the base isn’t “jacked up”, but you are probably better off to just get the correct lifter.  The standard Plantronics HL10 Handset Lifter (Plantronics part number 60961-32) with the 90 degree plug may be the better choice simply because it is more universal.  Hopefully this information gives a little clarity and understanding to the Plantronics HL10 Handset Lifter conundrum, that there really are two different ones, and helps you to make the right choice between the two versions for the proper lifter that you need.
