Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
Make sure that the serial numbers in the bottom of the base unit and on the back of the remote unit
match. The numbers must match for operation.
If you hear signals in your headset:
A signal every 15 seconds means that the mute function is on.
A signal every 10 seconds means that you are out of range, move closer to base unit.
A signal every 20 seconds means that the battery is getting low and needs to be charged:
For proper charge, make sure that the battery charging indicator is lit when the remote unit is placed
in base unit.
The battery may need up to three charge and discharge cycles to reach full capacity.
If callers have problems hearing you:
Make sure that the mute function is off (see Step 15 ).
Re-adjust the microphone volume as described in Step 11-13.
Check the position of the headset microphone and make sure that it is placed at the corner of your
mouth.
You may be out of range, move closer to the base unit.
Noise may be caused, if the base unit is placed too close to your telephone. With an extension cord it is
possible to place the GN Ellipse further away from your telephone. Please contact you reseller for further
information.
