I bought this for my Nana. She says she cannot hear the person speaking. What does she need to do to hear with the headset plugged into her phone?

That all may depend on what kind of phone you have??? All I had to do was plug it in. I didn't hear anything until I turned the handset on and had a dial tone. Ck and make sure the plug is all the way in. Make a call and plug it in while you have a call going and see if you can hear then. Otherwise you may have to call Panasonic help line. There wasn't any real instructions with it so....hope you can figure it out...

This headset worked *ok* for about 5 days. Then...No one could hear a thing I was saying! I didn't have a problem with My end of hearing. Maybe she might try to push the plug in harder? Personally, I would return it asap

She may need to turn up the volume on her phone, which then runs through the headset. Also make sure the jack is well plugged into the phone - if this works loose, it will break the signal. Also, if this is a handset that has had a lot of headsets plugged in and out of it, the phone jack may be loose and need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

With my headset it didn't work. Those who were at the other line couldn't hear me.

This probably has already been answered but there are 3 buttons on the bottom right side of the headset. Hold down the middle button until you see the little light on the top right side start to quickly flash red and blue. Then go to your phone, turn on the pairing mode and then search for devices to pair. Your phone should "find" the headset then simply select the headset to pair the devices. If your phone asks for a Password, simply enter "0000". Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. Humming that goes away on mute. I'm plugged into a DSL filter. No cell phone nearby. It's getting so that I don't want to use the phone. I'm looking for a different one to buy. Any suggestions on a telephone headset that doesn't make so much noise?

No you can not hear your voice through the headset.Unless you set that option up.

How does it sound when talking with others ? If there are no problems talking w/others ? It can be your moms phone or she is not holding the phone in the right position ..

I use this (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007M1TZ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) headset. It works with the phone.

My mother, who uses the phone, wears two hearing aids. She has the corded phone and doesn't have any problem hearing conversation on it. I can't speak for the cordless one as I've not tried it. I did call the company for some help with the phone and their customer service is excellent, so I'm thinking that if you purchase one and don't like it, the return should be fairly easy. Hope this is helpful.

I purchase this as a gift. The recipient was not able to use it with her iPhone. I purchased a GE Universal all-in-one headset as a replacement which worked fine. Amazon also has the 98974 available. The reviews say this works fine with iPhone and that it comes with a 2.5mm adaptor. It would be helpful if Amazon updated the 98974 description to mention that the product includes the adaptors.

I believe you always have to have a headset plugged in...looking at it I don't see a speaker option on the unit.

Just received - how do you work this? I've tried on 2 calls and both could barely hear me... I am not sure if I have it plugged in correctly. Advice? Thank you!

Hi Brittney, I do not have the phone here as it is in a rental cabin. I am fairly certain that it does not have headset capabilities. It's a very simple, lightweight phone. If the phone were here, I'd check for you personally. My guess is "NO".

Before you consider it as damage is good that you test couple things: 1. try several 3.5mm ear phones. 2. Do you hear nothing or you hear but not good quality? If you pull the plug out slowly can you hear a difference in the quality of sound? 3. be sure volume are up, sometimes the configuration for 'headset' was low volume and you are not aware, just plug the ear phone and up the volumen at max. 4. play something in the phone while you test all of this, like play a song. be sure you can hear it in speakers and the previous point to see if you can hear it in the ear phones. If any of those works, is better to: 1. send back for guarantee service. 2. take it to a service place. 3. throw it and buy a new one... lol. good luck!

If you are his caregiver you would need to turn headset on for him and place in his ear, it then connects to his paired phone. Then when call comes in he will hear who is calling and if he wants to talk to then all he needs to do is, after the prompt, is say "answer". Any other functions might be accomplished by downloading an app called 'Vlingo' which is voice activated and can access texting and read incoming texts. Hopefully this might help.

Answering on behalf of my grandmother: the voice is seemingly loud in a quiet room, but it needs to be held up closer to her ear in a crowded room/restaurant, etc.

The instructions were on the packaging. Charge the headset. switch it on. Hold down the power button for a few seconds till light flashes. find headset signal using your cell phone. connect.
