Your ET-928’s handset is equipped with a headset jack on top. This jack allows you to connect an optional headset (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 43-194) for hands-free conversation — perfect for when you are working in the yard or garage. You must also have a handset holder (such as Cat. No. 43-197, not supplied) for the handset so you can carry it with you while you use the head- set.

2.Insert the headset’s 3/32-inch (2.5

mm)plug into the jack on top of the handset.
