You can connect the standard base to your phone with the included Y-cable. But note that the Y-cable has
two RJ-type connectors - one for the auxiliary or AUX port, and one for the headset port. You can distinguish
between the two connectors by their size, as the AUX port connector is slightly larger than the headset port
connector.
