USING A HEADSET

You can make or answer calls with hands-free convenience using an option- al headset that has a 3/32-inch (2.5 mm) plug. We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 43-195, which is specially designed for use with the ET-1105.

Follow these steps to use a headset.

1.Insert the headset’s plug into the jack on the top of the handset.

2.Place the headset on your head with the earpiece over either ear and ad- just the microphone boom until it is about even with your chin.

3.Hang the belt clip on your belt.

4.Make or receive calls as you would normally (see “Making and Receiv- ing a Call” on Page 14).

Notes:

•Connecting a headset disconnects the handset’s earpiece and micro- phone.

•If you place the handset on the base to recharge it while the headset is connected, be sure the handset seats properly.

REMOVING THE BELT CLIP

The belt clip on the back of the handset lets you hang the handset on your belt for easy portability. But to use the hanging hole on the back of the handset to place the handset on the wall-mounted base face-up, you must remove the belt clip.

Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into either side of the belt clip, then pull it off.

To replace the belt clip, insert either tab of the belt clip into one of the handset’s slots, then snap the other tab into hand- set’s other slot.
