Your GIGAPHONE Handset is equipped with a 2.5mm Headset Jack for use
with an optional accessory Headset for hands-free operation. If you choose
to use the Headset option, you must obtain an optional accessory Headset, which
is compatible with the GIGAPHONE.
To purchase a Headset, call VTECH Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset, locate the Headset Jack on the
GIGAPHONE Handset. Connect the plug on the Headset cord to the jack on
the cordless Handset. The plug should fit securely. Do not force the connection.

Headet Operation connected to
the Handset Unit
NOTE :
Whenever a compatible Headset is
connected to the cordless Handset,
the microphone on the Handset will
be muted. This is done to limit the
effect of background noise.
Many compatible Headsets have a
reversible, monaural design. You can
wear your Headset on either ear,
leaving one ear free for room
conversation.
Headset Operation connected to
the Base Unit
The same type of Headset can be
connected to the Base Unit. Facing the
Base, the Headset jack can be found
on the near corner of the right side
panel.When using a Headset attached
to the Base, calls are made and
answered by pressing the HEADSET
key. This key is also used to end your
call. The Base Speakerphone and Base
Headset cannot be used
simultaneously. However, you can
switch between the two modes
without disconnecting your Headset.
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. Do
not force the connection.
Your GIGAPHONE cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts,
so it must be treated with care.
Place the Handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect
your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the Handset outdoors
in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your Base Unit near
a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment.
For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many
years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild
soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when
you are wet or standing in water. If your Base Unit should fall into water,
DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND
TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out
by the unplugged cords.
