Using Yamaha CM500 Headset with Flex8400

I’m seriously thinking about trading in my Flex6500 on a new Flex8400 (not the Maestro). I’m currently using a Yamaha CM500 headset with my Flex6500 and love it. I would like to use the CM500 with the Flex8400 but have a question about what I would need to plug the headset into the PHONE and MIC ports on the back of the Flex8400. I think the PHONE port connection is straight forward but I’m concerned about obtaining the proper interface cable to allow the CM500 to successfully connect to the MIC port. Any suggestions???

    You will need an adapter on the MIC, I just use one of these off Amazon to make my CM500 work on my Flex 6600, expect the 8400 will be the same.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
