VoIP Supply already posted about Spectralink 8000 Series<\/a>, so now take a moment for the KIRK transition to the Spectralink 7000 Series.<\/p>\n Following suit as the Polycom KIRK\u2019s, the Spectralink 7000 Series<\/a> do not come with a charger or a power supply. You\u2019ll need to purchase both options separately. The correct charger options for each series will be available in the Accessories panel on each handset page on VoIP Supply\u2019s website, or listed as a drop down option where applicable. When you decide on which charger you want, you can choose your power supply or USB cable (again, where applicable) to go with it, or if you know you have the correct power supply laying around your workspace somewhere, you can choose not to purchase another one.<\/p>\n There are five sets to this series: 74-series<\/a><\/strong>, 75-series<\/a><\/strong>, 76-series<\/a><\/strong>, 77-series<\/a><\/strong>, and the Butterfly Handset Series<\/a><\/strong>. Excluding the Butterfly Series, if you’re familiar at all with the old Polycom KIRK DECT phones, you’ll remember the handsets were split into the 40xx Series, 50xx Series, 60xx Series, and 70xx Series, and as you can probably guess, all four series match up. From the KIRK model number, if you drop the third place digit and add a ‘7’ to the beginning, you’ll have the new nomenclature for the Spectralink models. Let’s take a look:<\/p>\n Spectralink 74-Series<\/a>:<\/strong> Spectralink 7520<\/p><\/div>\n Spectralink 75 Series<\/a>:<\/strong> Spectralink 76-Series<\/a>:<\/strong> Spectralink 7740<\/p><\/div>\n Spectralink 77-Series<\/a>:<\/strong> Butterfly Handset Series<\/a>:<\/strong> Spectralink is still working the transition from the Polycom DECT phones over to completely Spectralink, so some of the literature for Spectralink 7000 Series phones will have Polycom logos on them and say ‘Polycom KIRK,’ which doesn’t help reduce the confusion. Think of it this way though: there has finally been a take over where one company didn’t mess up a product. While the names have changed, you still have the same great product. Once you remember to drop the third place ‘0’ and begin each part number with a ‘7’, it’s not so bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You won’t find Polycom\u2019s DECT handsets called KIRK anymore.
