Note: For your convenience, you may also feed the telephone cord through the
base’s right or left slot, depending if your desk telephone is positioned to the right
or left of the base.
5. Use the cord management strips to fasten and organise the cords. [E]
Charging headset
Before using your headset, charge it for a minimum of
two hours. You may charge the headset by placing it in
the base or with the travel charger cord.
During initial (and subsequent) charging, you may con-
tinue to use your desk telephone as normal.
See Section 4.5 for full details on charging batteries and
the battery charge level indication.
Pairing of headset to the desk telephone and verifying
pairing
The headset and the base in their original product box have been factory-paired to
ensure proper functioning of your GN 6110. You do not need to pair these two devices,
and you may now proceed to the Clear dial tone adjustment section.
If original pairing is lost (by resetting the base, changing your headset or changing your
base), you will have to pair your headset to the base again. You may also verify pairing
between the headset and base at any point (except during telephone conversations).
See Section 4.6 for these instructions.
Clear dial tone adjustment
Desk telephones operate on a range of standards. In order for your GN 6110 to work
with your desk telephone and to hear a clear, crisp dial tone, you must set the correct
dial tone setting. Consult the inside back cover of this user guide for the most common
telephone models and settings.
Complete the following instructions to set the correct dial tone adjustment:
1. Open the compartment cover on the bottom of the base and
locate the termination switch [A].
2. Put on your headset and press the base’s Multifunction but-
ton. An audible tone will shortly be heard.
3. Lift the telephone’s handset from the cradle and listen for a dial tone in your headset.
4. If there is no dial tone or it is not clear, stepwise slide the termination switch
through all 7 settings (along the A-G range), listening for the clearest possible dial
tone. If the dial tone is just as clear in position A as in position G, leave the switch in
position A.
5. When you hear the clearest dial tone, you have located the correct termination set-
ting.
Microphone volume adjustment
In order to ensure that your voice is neither too loud nor too soft when calling others,
adjust the transmit sound volume. You will need to make a call with your desk tele-
phone to adjust it.
Complete the following instructions to adjust the transmit volume:
1. Open the compartment cover on the bottom of the base and
locate the blue microphone volume adjustment button [A].

5. Frequently asked questions
Should I unplug my telephone’s line cord from the wall?
No, do not unplug your telephone’s line cord from the wall. Your GN 6110 is not a
telephone, but rather works with your desk telephone. The GN 6110 base accesses the
telephone line via your existing desk telephone.
I’ve set up my GN 6110 but I still don’t hear a dial tone?
There are several possible reasons why you do not hear a dial tone. Check that:
• The various cords are correctly set up and inserted.
• The clear dial tone adjustment (using the termination switch at the bottom of the
base) is correct.
• The power supply is correctly hooked to the base.
• You have not unplugged your desk telephone’s telephone line.
What is the yellow-coloured AUX button on the bottom of the base for?
The yellow-marked AUX socket is where you may connect the (optional) GN 1000
Remote Handset Lifter’s connector cord. By connecting the GN 1000, you may answer/
end calls while away from your desk.

How long do I have to charge the headset before I can use it?
It takes 2 hours to fully charge your headset. Although you may already use your head-
set after 20 minutes of charging, we recommend you allow 2 hours of charging before
you use your headset.
The battery indicator represents the charge level of your headset. One lit indicator light
represents a 25% charge and when all four indicator lights are lit the headset is fully
charged.
How do I lift the headset out of its base?
Press the headset release button fi rst, and then lift the headset from the base unit. The
headset release mechanism allows the headset to sit fi rmly in the base, thus guarantee-
ing its charging.
Can I wear the headset on either the left of the right ear?
Yes, you can wear the headset on either the left or the right ear. To change the wear-
ing ear, open the headset boom arm, open and remove the earhook, turn the headset
over and fi nally reinsert the earhook. Full instructions and illustrations can be found in
Section 4.3.
What is the clear dial tone adjustment for?
Desk telephones operate on a wide range of standards and use different kinds of inter-
nal components. The GN 6110 works with a very wide range of desk telephones, but it
still must be set to match your desk telephone’s standard. The GN 6110’s termination
switch (located at the bottom of the base) has a sliding 7-setting range that must be
adjusted until you hear a clear, crisp dial tone. Once you have a clear dial tone, your GN
6110 is correctly adjusted.
Why do I need to volume match the headset and desk telephone?
Volume match ensures consistency between the volume levels of received calls. Once
you have completed volume match, the volume you hear in your ear will be at the same
level, irrespective of if the call comes from your desk or mobile phone. Furthermore,
if you adjust the headset’s volume up or down during normal use, it will apply consis-
tently for calls from both your desk and mobile phone.
How do I make and end calls with my headset?
To make a call, open the boom arm, press the Multifunction Button, lift the telephone’s
handset (or simply press its line button), listen for the dial tone and dial the desired
number.
To end a call, press the Multifunction Button on the headset or base and lower the
telephone’s handset (or simply press its line button).
6. Cleaning, safety and maintenance
Clean the headset, including the headset boom arm and ear hook piece, by wiping
with a slightly damp cloth as required. Dampen the cloth with only water and a little
washing-up liquid if needed. Avoid getting moisture into any button sockets or other
openings. The base and cords may be dry-dusted as required.
Do not immerse the GN 6110 in water.
The plastic bags the GN 6110 and its parts are wrapped in are not toys for children. The
bags themselves or the many small parts they contain may cause choking if ingested.
