Operation NOTE : Whenever a compatible Headset is connected to the cordless Handset, the microphone on the Hand-set will be muted. This is done to limit the effect of background noise. The following operational characteristics apply to VTECH Headsets. The same may also apply to other, non-VTECH supplied headsets, but VTECH assumes no responsibility for their performance.

The headband can be adjusted to fit the contour of your head. 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. The belt clip should snap securely into place.
