Electronic hook switch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An electronic hook switch (EHS) is a device which electronically connects a wireless headset and phone. An EHS passes predefined signalling. Either bluetooth headset or DECT headset can be used.[1][2]
Users can handle calls with the headset only, freeing them from remaining next to the phone. Switching from handset to headset is typically accomplished by pushing a specific button.

- Ringtone in headset: headset plays a ringtone when the phone receives a call.
