Phone works fine, but once I switch to the headset no one can hear me...I toggled the mute function a bunch of times, but no change.
I can hear the person on the other end, but they can't hear me...
My guess is bad wiring in the headset mic...any ideas?
Same problem, 1 year old unit. Took it apart and it seems the wire from the mic was frayed at the spot it enters the ear piece. I think it is from the rotation of the mic arm. Unable to rejoin the two wires so throwing unit away. I think the key to longevity with these RCA's is to not swing the arm from end to end - treat it gently, leave it in place for either right or left side use but don't try to use for both. If this is really the cause of all these headset failures the fix for RCA would be simply to beef up the wire or pad it where it enters the ear piece. Sounds easy enough to me, what do you think RCA???
Disconnect the all lines and power
Remove battery of the headset
Put battery back in
Connect phone line
Connect power cord
I am trying this according to Thomas 800-511-3180

I got this phone less than 6 months ago; all of a sudden, the headset mic stopped working between one call and the next. There's nothing you can "re-seat" here-it appears to have broken.
I also had the mic stop working - There IS a two year warranty, IF you still have your receipt! I will be contacting a local electronics repair shop to see what the cost to fix would be.
I also had the mic stop working. This has happened on anther RCSA 25110 headset I bought! I've tried everything and can't get it to work.
The mic stopped working on mine after two years. What I noticed (before I threw the whole thing out) was that the rechargeable battery in the headset seemed expanded and was pushing apart the plastic housing. I really liked this phone, but it makes me nervous that a battery at the side of my head would "expand".
Yeah good luck getting RCA to replace the thing if it does break after 3 months -- so much for their 2-year warranty. Instead of owning up to a shoddy product, which is obvious based on the individual complaints out there, they are trying to blame me for abusing the product! Um, no, it's for business use, and I use it everyday to take customer service calls. They wouldn't even put me on w/ a supervisor ... they were busy. yeah ,busy handling calls for their shoddy products. Time to call the Better Business Bureau.
I, too have that problem. Everything works fine, except the person on the other end is not hearing me, although I can hear them clearly. Appears to be a broken or bent wire in the section where the microphone attaches to the earpiece section. If I push the headphone section backwards, the person can hear me. It's aggrevating talking and having the other person ask "are you still there"? I was planning on buying another RCA headset replacement or a plantronic headset replacement(suppose to work with any corded or cordless phone), but decided to check to see if others had the same problem first. This was very informative. Thanks a bunch everyone.
