FEATURES

Your RadioShack ET-196 Hands-Free

Telephone Headset makes many exist-

ing home or office modular phones more

flexible and easy to use. When you use

the headset, your hands are free to do

other things. The 7-foot long headset ca-

ble lets you move freely, and the adjust-

able microphone boom swings up and

down so you can wear the headset over

either ear.

You can use the ET-196 Hands-Free

Telephone Headset with most modular

phones that have a keypad or dial on the

phone’s base. The headset does not

work with phones having the keypad or

dial on the handset, or with some elec-

tronic phone systems.

The ET-196’s features include:

Quick-Disconnect Plu

— lets you dis-

connect the headset from the phone

without disconnecting the call, so you

can step away from the phone without

removing the headset. You can return to

the conversation by simply reconnecting

the headset.

Studio-Qualit

Electret Condenser

Microphone — clearly transmits your

voice and reduces background noise.

ustable Volume — gives you full

control of the volume level.

Microphone Mutin

— lets you turn the

headset’s microphone off to prevent

callers from hearing a private, in-room

conversation.

ustable Microphone Boom — lets

you adjust the microphone’s position so

callers can hear you more clearly.

Automatic Power-Off — temporarily

turns off the headset amplifier when

there is no conversation on the line for

15–30 seconds, to save battery power.

Lapel Clip — lets you securely anchor

the headset’s cord to your clothing to

prevent the headset cord from pulling on

the headset.

Headset Han

er — provides a conve-

nient place to store the headset.

Note: Your ET-196 requires two AA bat-

teries (not supplied) for power.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING/REPLACING

BATTERIES

You need two AA batteries to power the

ET-196. For the longest operation and

best performance, we recommend alka-

line batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.

No. 23-557.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the

required size and recommended

type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,

different types of batteries (stan-

dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or

rechargeable batteries of different

capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove

the screw on the battery compart-

ment cover.

2. Slide the battery compartment cover

in the direction of the arrow to

remove it.

3. Put two AA batteries into the com-

partment as indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

4. Replace the cover and secure it with

the screw.

CHECKING THE BATTERIES

To check the headset’s battery power at

any time, set / to and press

BATT. If the batteries are good, the

CHECK indicator lights. If the CHECK indi-

cator does not light (or lights only dimly),

replace the batteries.

Cautions:

• Always remove old or weak batteries.

Batteries can leak chemicals that can

destroy electronic parts.

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

Caution: To avoid damaging the ET-196, do not connect it directly to a phone line

jack or to a phone with the keypad or dial on the handset.

1. Unplug the phone’s modular handset cord from the phone’s base and plug it into

the HANDSET jack on the back of the headset amplifier.

2. Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the handset jack on the phone’s

base.

3. Plug the other end of the coiled cord into the TELEPHONE jack on the back of the

headset amplifier.

4. Plug the headset’s cord into the HEADSET jack.

ATTACHING THE

HEADSET HANGER

The ET-196 comes with a headset

hanger that gives you a convenient

place to rest your headset when it is not

in use.

To attach the holder, simply insert the

headset hanger into the holes on the up-

per left of the headset amplifier.

ADJUSTING THE

HEADSET

1. Place the headset on top of your

head with the earpiece over either

ear.

2. Adjust the headset band until it rests

with almost no pressure on your ear

and the top of your head.

If the headset is loose, remove it

and adjust it inward slightly to

tighten it. If the headset is tight, gen-

tly pull the headset band out to

loosen it.

3. Hold the headset in place, and

adjust the microphone boom until it

is about even with your chin. Experi-

ment until you find the most comfort-

able position.

Caution: The microphone boom

swivels on the headset. Do not bend

the microphone boom while you

adjust it.

4. Attach the lapel clip to your clothing.

Leave enough slack in the cord so

you can move your head without

pulling the headset.

Note: When you are not using the head-

set, place it on the headset hanger. Oth-

erwise (if you just lay it down on a flat

surface, for example), you might have to

repeat these adjustments.

OPERATION

USING THE HEADSET

Note: When you use the Telephone

Headset with your phone, you can still

use all the features of your phone.

The first time you use the Telephone

Headset, slide VOLUME on the front of

the headset amplifier to the lowest vol-

ume level.

Set SELECT (on the right side of the

headset amplifier) to 1. The SELECT

switch adjusts the microphone’s sensi-

tivity to your phone’s operation.

During a call, If the other party indicates

that your voice is too loud, too low, or

garbled, slide SELECT to 2or 3, then

speak into the microphone again. Leave

SELECT at the setting where the other

party hears you best.

Notes:

• Once you determine which SELECT

setting works best, you should not

need to change it again unless you

connect the ET-196 to another

phone.

• During a call, if there is no conversa-

tion on the phone line for 15 to 30

seconds, the headset amplifier auto-

matically turns off to save battery

power. The line remains connected,

and when either you or the other

party speaks, the headset amplifier

automatically turns on again.

MAKING/RECEIVING

CALLS

1. To turn on the headset amplifier, set

/ to .

2. To make a call, first pick up the

phone’s handset and place it beside

the base, then dial the phone num-

ber. When the other party answers,

speak into the microphone in a nor-

mal voice. Adjust VOLUME to a com-

fortable listening level as the other

party speaks.
