  WE514 with 153B amplifier and headset.  |
Western Electric 514 Used primarily for telemarketing applications, where folks are on the phone most of the time and need two hands free to look up information and make notes -- or later, use the computer keyboard. Switch on the front takes the set off hook, so the headset can be used without lifting the handset. This set has a plug above and to the left of the dial. Some sets have an optional small "message waiting" light above the dial (D-179968 or D-179969 kit of parts). The light could be wired or controlled by the PBX to signal
incoming calls, permitting ringers to be turned off in a large "boiler
room" full of telemarketers (or support staff). It could also be
lit if a message came in while the user was away from the phone. An external 153B (or similar) amplifier, can also be used to provide volume control. The headset jack and 241-type amp take up space that is normally used by a 500 set's standard C4A ringer. A single gong N-1 ringer is used, instead. The ringer volume control is brought out on the side, where it is easier to adjust. |
