[. . . ] Connect the plug on the Headset cord to the jack on the cordless Handset. Do not force the connection. Operation NOTE : Whenever a compatible Headset is connected to the cordless Handset, the microphone on the Hand-set will be muted. The same may also apply to other, non-VTECH supplied headsets, but VTECH assumes no responsibility for their performance. The VTECH brand compatible Head-set has a reversible, monaural design. You can wear your Headset on either ear, leaving one ear free for room conversation. Using both hands, slide the headband up or down so that it rests comfortably on your head, with the speaker cushion centered against your ear. For maximum sound quality, the flexible microphone should be positioned at the corner of your mouth, about one inch from your face. Belt Clip The GIGAPHONE is also equipped with a detachable belt clip. Align the pins on the inside edge of the clip with the notches on the sides of the GIGAPHONE Handset. Do not force the connection. 9 Additional Information Maintenance Taking Care Of Your Telephone Your GIGAPHONE cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
