Description
The Poly CS540A with HL10 Bundle (80R99AA#ABA) combines the CS540A DECT wireless headset with the HL10 Automatic Handset Lifter in a single package — delivering fully hands-free desk phone operation right out of the box. With up to 12 hours of talk time, 400 feet of wireless range, and three convertible wearing styles, the CS540A covers a full agent shift comfortably. The included HL10 lifter answers and ends calls automatically when you press the button on the headset, so there's no need to return to the desk to pick up the phone.
The Telecom Spot Take
For buyers who've already decided on the CS540 platform, this bundle is the smarter purchase over buying the headset and HL10 separately — you save the extra order and get everything configured as a matched set. The HL10 is what makes the CS540 truly hands-free; without it, you still need to lift the handset to open the line. If your agents roam frequently — moving between filing, printing, or floor tasks while on calls — this bundle is exactly what eliminates the friction. The only reason to skip the bundle is if your phones already support EHS auto-answer, in which case the HL10 isn't needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between this bundle and the CS540 sold separately (7W073AA#ABA)?
- This bundle (80R99AA#ABA) includes the HL10 Automatic Handset Lifter for fully hands-free auto-answer. The standalone CS540 (7W073AA#ABA) does not include the lifter — you would need to add it separately.
- Is the HL10 already configured for the CS540A, or does it need setup?
- The HL10 requires a brief installation — it clips onto the handset cradle of your desk phone and connects to the headset base via a short cable. No phone reprogramming is required for most standard desk phones.
- Does this headset work with PC softphones?
- No — the CS540A connects to desk phones only. For combined desk phone and PC connectivity, consider the Poly Savi 7210 or 8210 series.
