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 VT 1712 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.
OPERATION
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.
The following operational characteristics apply to VTech Headsets. The same may also apply to other,
The VTech brand compatible Headset has a reversible, monaural design. You can wear your Headset on either ear, leaving one ear free for room conversation.
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 VT 1712 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 VT 1712 Handset. The belt clip should snap securely into place. Do not force the connection.

THE PHONE DOESN’T WORK AT ALL.
*Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
*Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone wall jack.
*Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If the LOW BATT LED is flashing, the battery pack needs charging.
NO DIAL TONE
First check all the suggestions above. If you still don’t hear a dial tone, disconnect the base unit from the telephone jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.
YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NEAR THE BASE UNIT.
Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base unit can some- times cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another outlet.
