BASIC OPERATION

SPEAKERPHONE

For hands-free operation and convenience, your dual-handset system is equipped with a speakerphone.

For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:

•Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might pick up these sounds.)

•Surfaces affected by vibration.

•Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to a cabinet, which can generate an echo effect.

Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:

•The speakerphone works similar to a two-way radio. You can only listen or talk at one time.

•Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can be clearly heard by the person to whom you are talking.

NOTE: Only one-way conversation is possible in speakerphone mode. When you are speaking, you are transmitting. When you are listening, you are receiving. You can’t do both at the same time. The phone automatically switches between transmitting and receiving depending on the level of the voice or the room noise detected by the speakerphone microphone.

CHARGE INDICATOR

When the charge indicator is lit, the handset is correctly seated in the cradle and is charging. The indicator flashes when the base is paged, when the base pages the handset, or when you receive an incoming call.
