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 will automatically switch between transmitting and receiving depending on the level of the voice or the room noise picked up by the speakerphone mic.

NOTE: If a line goes off-hook, the call timer counts time until all the lines go on hook. The timer serves for 4 lines.
