Poly CA22CD Cordless PTT (Single Channel) Features

Versions

There are two primary versions of Model CA22CD: the single‐receive‐channel version, which is the direct replacement for Model CA12CD‐S, and the new dual‐receive‐channel version that Poly has created for voice systems that require dual‐channel headsets and adapters.

The single‐channel version is Model CA22CD‐SC and the dual‐channel version is Model CA22CD‐DC. Both of these variants are available with either DECT radios for regions like the European Union or DECT 6.0 (a.k.a. UPCS which is Unlicensed Personal Communications Services 1920‐ to 1930‐MHz band for use in North America) radios for use in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

¹ The talk‐volume fine‐adjust buttons, the talk‐volume coarse‐adjust switch, and the receive‐volume coarse‐adjust switch are only active when the base is plugged into an analog host. These controls are not active in the USB interface. When connected to a USB host, talk and receive volume can be controlled in the host PC, and receive volume can be fine‐tuned with the receive‐volume fine‐adjust rocker on the remote.
