The Scala-500 offers a large, easy-to-reach answer/end call control button and a built-in battery that provides up to nine hours of talk time and one week standby time, according to the company.
Other headset features include noise-cancellation technology, voice activation, mute, redial, call reject, toggling and volume control. The Scala-500 kit includes the compact earpiece plus Versa-Clip, ear hook, charging cradle, universal travel wall charger, CD manual, and neckband and belt clip with carry sleeve.
