4.3 Registering the Headset

To use the headset, it must be registered to your compatible VTech or AT&T phone system. Follow the registration instructions provided with your phone system. Typically, this involves:

1. Placing your phone system's base unit into registration mode (often by pressing a 'LOCATOR' or 'FIND HANDSET' button).
2. Initiating the registration process on the headset (refer to your phone system's manual for specific steps).
3. Once successfully registered, the headset's indicator light will typically change from flashing to solid.

Note: If you encounter difficulties registering, ensure the base handset is off the base after pressing the locator button and putting it into pairing/registering mode, as suggested by some users.

4.4 Wearing the Headset

The VTech IS6200 offers multiple wearing styles for personalized comfort:

• In-Ear with Earbud Tips: Select the earbud tip size that provides the most secure and comfortable fit for your ear canal.
• Over-the-Head Band: Attach the headset to the provided over-the-head band for a more stable fit, especially recommended if the headset feels heavy with just the earbud.

Ensure the headset is worn properly to achieve optimal sound quality and call performance. Adjust the earbud tips or wearing style for a snug fit.
