Poly RD-1 Electronic Hook Switch 85R71AA telephone accessory

Poly RD-1 Hook Switch Compatibility

The Poly RD-1 Electronic Hook Switch connects compatible Poly headsets to supported desk phones for remote call answering. It replaces a mechanical handset lifter with a purely electronic link, reducing moving parts and desk clutter. The accessory draws power from the telephone port and requires no separate supply.

Desk-phone users needing electronic hook control

This switch suits office workers who use a Poly wireless headset with a supported desk phone and want to answer or end calls away from the handset. Buyers whose telephone system lacks an electronic hook-switch port or who rely on a softphone-only setup cannot use this accessory.

Electronic hook-switch interface

The single specification that decides fit is the presence of a compatible electronic hook-switch port on the desk phone. Without that port the RD-1 cannot communicate with the telephone system, so verify the phone’s interface before purchasing.
