SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can damage your hearing. To avoid
injury, set the volume to the lowest comfortable level. If you experience ringing in your ears, or voices sound
muffled, stop using the headset. Avoid turning up the volume to block noisy surroundings. It’s possible for
your ears to adapt to volume that is too high, and this could result in permanent hearing damage without
any noticeable discomfort.
• Plastic bags and small parts may cause choking if ingested. Keep them away from small children and pets.
• Use only the power adapter included with this product.
• Do not immerse any part of this product in water.
• Unplug product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Clean your headset with a slightly damp cloth as required. Dampen the cloth with only water or a mild soap
and apply only on plastic parts. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
• This product contains a replaceable lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Use only the supplied rechargeable
battery. When replacing, use the VXi replacement battery.
• Dispose of batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture which could release caustic material and
cause injury. Do not dispose of battery in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes for disposal
instructions.
• Avoid temperatures exceeding 140° F (will cause equipment failure).

VXi V175 User Guide PAGE 16
REGISTERING / PAIRING HEADSETS TO THE BASE
The V175 supports up to two wireless headsets on one base station. The original V175 headset is
registered and paired to the base at the factory. However, if you wish to add a second headset, you must
register/pair it with the V175 base before use.
Identifying Registered and Unregistered Headsets
• A fully charged, registered headset will have a blue call control LED.
• An unregistered headset (not paired to a base) will have a call control LED that flashes red and blue.
Registering a Headset to the Base
• Make sure the battery is properly installed and the headset is charged. If it has not been charged, place
the headset into base charging cradle and charge for at least five minutes.
• Remove the headset from the base. Press and hold the pair button until the mute LED turns on (about
four seconds). Release the pair button.
• Return the headset to the base charging cradle until registration is complete (about 30 seconds) and
the mute LED turns off.
• Registration verification: Press the headset call control button and make a test call. If registration was
not successful, the LED by the headset call control button will flash two times every five seconds.
• If the registration process was not successful, repeat. If still not successful, remove the headset from
the base and reset the headset by pressing the call control button. Unplug the power supply from the
base, wait 15 seconds, and then reconnect the power.
Deregistering/Unpairing a Headset from the Base
You must deregister a headset from its original base station before you can register it to a different base
station.
• Press and hold the pair button for at least 10 seconds until the mute LED turns on and starts to flash.
Release the pair button. While the mute LED is still flashing, immediately press and release the pair
button again. This will deregister all headsets paired to the base.
• Deregistration verification: If successful, the mute LED is off and the headset call control LED will
continually flash red and blue.
• If the deregistration process was not successful, repeat. If still not successful, remove the headset from
the base and reset the headset by pressing the call control button. Unplug the power supply from the
base, wait 15 seconds, and then reconnect the power.
Using Two Headsets on One Base
• Once both headsets (primary and secondary) are registered to the same base, either headset can be
used to answer or drop in and out of an active call at any time. As long as one of the two headsets is
on and part of the active call, the call will not end. The call will only end when the active connection on
both headsets has been ended, or the party at the opposite end of the call hangs up.

VXi V175 User Guide PAGE 17
ENERGY-SAVING CHARGING MODE
When this mode is activated, all headset functions will be disabled, except for headset battery charging.
To Activate the Energy-Saving Charging Mode:
• Unplug the headset base power adapter from the power outlet. Make sure all headsets are charged
before proceeding.
• Press and hold the pair button on the base, and, at the same time, plug the base power adapter back
into the power outlet. The mute LED on the headset base will start flashing after about 20 seconds and
then go out and the red Mode 1 LED will begin to flash. Do not release the pair button until the Mode 1
LED is flashing.
• Release the pair button and then press it again within 2 seconds.
• After 60 seconds, the base will enter energy-saving charging mode and all base LEDs will be off.
Note: When the energy-saving charging mode is successfully enabled, all LEDs on the base will be off.
Any headsets will also be deregistered from the base and will need to be registered back to the base
prior to use.
If the headset fails to enter this mode, repeat all steps above.
To Deactivate the Energy-Saving Charging Mode:
• Unplug the base power adapter from the power outlet, and then plug it back in. The headset base will
power up as normal.
• Register the headset back to the headset base. See the “Adding and Registering a Headset” section of
the user guide for instructions.
