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 Plug — 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-Quality Electret Condenser
Microphone — clearly transmits your
voice and reduces background noise.
Adjustable Volume — gives you full
control of the volume level.
Microphone Muting — lets you turn the
headset’s microphone off to prevent
callers from hearing a private, in-room
conversation.
Adjustable 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 Hanger — provides a conve-
nient place to store the headset.
Note: Your ET-196 requires two AA bat-
teries (not supplied) for power.
