USING AN OPTIONAL HEADSET

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.

Follow these steps to use a headset.

1.Place the ET-928’s handset in the handset holder.

2.Insert the headset’s 3/32-inch (2.5

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

3.Place the headset on your head with the earpiece over either ear and adjust the microphone boom until it is about even with your chin.
