Oh, OK. I wonder if they make a way to have it hook into the 4 band 3.5mm jacks on the phone side? I think I get how this is supposed to work where some phones had the removable cord on the handset part, and you plug a cable from the amp part into this instead, and the original phone cable in to the other side, sort of like answering machines did. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Mote via Jfw" <[email protected]> To: "'The Jaws for Windows support list.'" <[email protected]> Cc: "Michael Mote" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 12:00 PM Subject: RE: dual source headsets, where to get? > The Amplifier is for the phone itself.
