GN 6210 Troubleshooting

 
 

My automatic voice dialing feature does not always recognize my voice 

commands, what can I do?  
When initially saving your voice tags/commands to your mobile phone’s 
memory, it is best to use the GN 6210. This will result in optimal recognizing of 

your voice commands. 
 
 
EVERYDAY USE 
 

Does the GN 6210 also work with analog phones? 
Absolutely. The GN 6210 is compatible with virtually any phone on the market. 
This is possible because it plugs into the standard handset jack on the phone – 

not into the phone line itself. The GN 6210’s base has a telephone compatibility 
switch that needs to be set to optimize its use with different phone types. 

Because it connects into the handset jack on the phone, the GN 6210 is not 
compatible with cordless phones. 
 

Do I still have to pick up the handset on my desk phone when making/ 
answering a call? 
That depends on the phone system. Some PBX systems can be programmed to 

open a connection without removing the handset; otherwise, the handset must 
still be picked up. GN Netcom offers an accessory, the GN 1000 Remote 

Handset Lifter, which attaches to the GN 6210 base and the desk phone. When 
using this device, the handset is raised and lowered automatically. It also 
allows you to answer or end calls away from your desk. 

 
My callers say my voice sounds too loud/soft, how do I correct this? 
An inappropriate voice level may occur most often when using your headset 

with an office telephone. To rectify this, the GN 6210’s blue microphone 
adjustment button (at the bottom of the base unit) needs to be adjusted 

accordingly.  
 
My callers say my voice sounds distorted and/or metallic, how do I 

correct this? 
Often a distorted and/or metallic voice is a result of either of the two following 

issues: 

 

Echoing can cause this, which itself is often a result of the office phone 
or mobile phone volume control being set too high. Or, the blue 

microphone adjustment button (at the bottom of the base unit) needs to 
be adjusted down.   

 

Your voice may sound distorted or metallic for a few moments while the 

GN 6210 adjusts its settings. If, however, this persists, the blue 
microphone adjustment button (at the bottom of the base unit) needs to 

be adjusted until your voice sounds clear.
