Over-the-Head model. Both allow for hands-free operation
and maximum mobility.

noise; and the forty-channel range of the 4U40 cord-free
headset insures the best possible reception in a variety of
calling situations.

and against misbilled calls resulting from the activation of your
unit by other remote equipment. This feature automatically locks
