Question:<\/strong> What\u2019s the difference between a lifter and an EHS cable? What does the lifter do for the phone?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> A \u201cLifter\u201d is a physical lifter that allows you to answer calls away from the phone (up to 300 ft); EHS refers to \u201cElectronic Hook Switch\u201d which means it picks up the call electronically instead of physically. <\/span><\/p>\n
