GN 6210 Troubleshooting

 
 

REMOTE ANSWERING FUNCTIONALITY 

Remote answering functionality lets you answer/end calls while away from 
your desk. The GN 6210 headset is compatible with several different types of 
remote answering functionality. 

 
GN 1000 Remote Handset Lifter (RHL) 
To remotely answer/end calls from most telephones, we recommend the GN 
1000 RHL. It mechanically lifts your telephone’s handset and directs the call to 
your headset. Similarly, the GN 1000 RHL lowers your telephone’s handset 

when ending a call. The GN 1000 RHL transmits the ring tone of an incoming 
call to your GN 6210 headset. 
 

I hear a ringing tone in my GN 6210 headset yet there is no incoming 
call. How do I fix this? 

The GN 1000 RHL’s sensitivity is set too high. Turn the GN 1000 RHL’s control 
knob (at the rear of the unit) down to decrease sensitivity. 
 

EHS 
EHS (Electronic Hook Switch) remote answering functionality is built into 
certain types of office telephones. There are two variants of EHS that your GN 

6210 is compatible with DSHG for e.g. Siemens phones. These phones have 
special software that lets you remotely answer/end calls using your GN 6210, 

without the need for a GN 1000 RHL.   
 
Nortel Meridian office telephones 

Nortel Meridian office telephones have a special type of built-in remote 
answering functionality that your GN 6210 is compatible with. This range of 
office telephones lets you remotely answer incoming calls without the use of 

the GN 1000 RHL or EHS functionality. If you hear your Meridian telephone 
ring (with this arrangement, the ring tone will not be heard in the GN 6210 

headset), simply press the Multifunction button for 1 second to answer a call. 
Press the Multifunction button again for 1 second to end a call.
