Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

This is a rank newbie/ignoramus question, but I cannot find details, specs, or instructions anywhere about the earphones (apparently they have some kind of built-in mic and squeeze button) that came with the N800. On a few Skype posts here on the forum there are scattered references to how to use these earphones, but nada in the box the N800 came in, nor the pdf file user guide for the N800. Can anyone point me to a place where a particularly dense-brained user can learn about how to use these earphones? Or anyone here care to bash out a quick but somewhat comprehensive rundown on N800 stock earphone usage and functionality? Thanks!

I don't think that there is any push button on the headset. They include stereo earphones and a microphone and they connect to N800 with a single plug. The sound quality is OK for internet calls, but get another set of headphones if you're planning on listening to music.

Instructions to use:
*Plug in the earphones, make sure the plug is all the way in
*Put the earphone marked with R to your right ear. L goes to the left ear.
*Clip the clip to your shirt so that the microphone is positioned near your mouth. Be sure not to eat it though.
*Speak and listen accordingly.

There is a button on my set of Nokia earphones. I don't know what to do with it except push it for fun.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

Mine has got a button, too. Glad someone asked about it here. I just haven't gotten up the nerve to. :)

I knew trying to chew the microphone was the wrong way to go!!!! It is, however, delicious.

Thanks for idiot-proof instructions. Though I still suspect the mic unit has some kind of switching function since the top front panel with the Nokia logo on it makes a clicking noise when you squeeze/depress the panel.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

It's a mute button actually. Simply disconnects the microphone while pressed. Can be used to curse out person you're talking about on the Skype.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

Dammit. I did try to squeese the little black box but couldn't find the button. Now It's me that's depressed :o

Okay! We have successfully plumbed the technical, culinary, and emotional depths of the N800 earphones. Thanks to all!

The button on my N800 headset (HS-48), terminates the call when depressed during a Skype conversation. Possibly it serves as a call transfer button if another call comes in when you are already in a conversation?

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

But, how do the headphones make you feel? ;)

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

Hmm... Mute button or VOIP call termination? The mystery lingers.... A Google search for data on the Nokia HS-48 (this is the model that came with my N800 also) seems unhelpful. Meanwhile, Nokia mentions the HS-48 in a number of places on its websites but apparently neglected to offer specs and functionality info anywhere. Anybody in Helsinki know the answers? Hello Finland.... Come in, Finland....

Does anyone else's ear phones have a MUCH longer right bud than the left. I'm talking at least a foot!

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

Mine have the same thing. Im guessing its part of the design.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

Yes. It's a feature.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

Yeah, its something to do with the placement of the microphone when your ear buds are in your ears or something like that.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

Especially useful since my right ear always seems to fall off! :D

The type of design is common on modern (in)earphones. Good for wraping behind the head, or sharing, etc.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

I don't know if this will help but if you plug the earphones into a PC, the sound is muffled until you hit the button. I've had to take the clip and force the button down so I'm not forced to keep pressing it.

Edit:
I was doing some testing with the N800 and I've noticed that when you press the button during an internet call it hangs up.
If the screen is blank (low power mode) and you press the button it wakes up the device.

You could probably get at it through here, then... I must have had a cache here.

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

I found out what the button does the hard way - at a critical point during an important call I thought 'what does this button do?'......

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

haha it's funny same thing happened to me, but i was just talking with my dad and i called him right back... the more i use the included headset the more i like the "features"... including the asymmetric earpieces... it could have better sound quality for music perhaps, but i'm certainly going to hold off on buying a bluetooth thing (i had been looking at the motorola endeavor hx1)

Re: Documentation/Instructions for N800 earphones?
 

search for 'DIY Lapel mic headphone adapter' (sorry, can't get the link to work) in the archive. i just did this mod, and it works great. it allows me to connect different headphones, external speakers or an mp3 recorder to the audio out without constantly stressing the tablet out jack. i like the nokia earbuds for their sturdy build, so i soldered a jack to them and still use them occasionally.
