Recordable Ringer

In addition to four traditional ringer options and ringer OFF, your gz 2436 Handset has five

musical ringers, plus the option for you to record another 2 personal ringers, using the

Ringer Recording feature.

Traditional Ring Options: Ringer 1

Ringer 2

Pre-programmed Melodies: Metal

Rock

Recordable Ringer

You can record your personal ringers with either the provided Audio Patch Cord or with the

Handset microphone. You may record up to two unique ringers for a maximum of approxi-

mately 20 seconds each.

If you record ringers from your computer or audio source, you need to first connect the

Audio Patch Cord. Insert the 3.5mm plug (the larger end) of the Audio Patch Cord into the

headset jack of your PC or audio source. Then insert the 2.5mm plug (the smaller end) into

the Headset jack on the side of the gz 2436 Handset. Make sure the audio source is ready

to play. Follow these steps:

• Press PROG.

• Press or until the screen displays RINGER RECORDING. Press SELECT to

confirm.

• Press or to select the ringer position you want to record over (Rock or Empty6).

• Press SELECT to start recording.

• Press SELECT to stop. The handset will play back the recorded ringer. Use dial pad

keys to enter a name for your new ringer (up to 8 characters).

NOTE: You must enter a name for your new ringer, or it will not be saved.

• Press SELECT to confirm. If your recording is successful, you will hear a confirmation

beep and the Handset will show RECORDING SUCC.

If you use the Handset microphone to record ringers, do not insert the Audio Patch Cord

into the headset jack. Follow the same steps above to record your ringer.

NOTE: Cued-up music typically produces the best sounding recorded ringer. It is recom-

mended to begin recording your ringer at the beginning of a song, rather than a portion from

the middle to produce an audibly pleasing custom ringer.

Headset Operation

3/04

Your gz 2436 Handset is equipped with a 2.5mm Headset Jack for use with an optional

accessory Headset for handsfree operation. If you choose to use the Headset option,

you must obtain an optional accessory Headset, which is compatible with the gz 2436.

For best results, use a VTech 2.5mm headset.

To purchase a Headset, call VTech Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.

Once you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset, locate the Headset Jack on the gz 2436

Handset. Connect the plug on the Headset cord to the jack (under a small rubber flap)

on the cordless Handset. The plug should fit securely. Do not force the connection.

NOTE:

Whenever a compatible Headset is

connected to the cordless Handset, the

microphone on the Handset will be

muted. This is done to limit the effect

of background noise.

Belt Clip

The gz 2436 is also equipped with a

detachable belt clip. Align the pins on the

inside edge of the clip with the notches

on the sides of the Handset. The belt

clip should snap securely into place. Do

not force the connection.
