Siemens 6210, 6220 Using the Speakerphone, Placing and Answering Calls, Muting the Microphone

Using the Speakerphone _________________

The speakerphone feature allows two-way hands-free conversation and on-hook dialing.

Placing and Answering Calls

The Call Preference option (page 61) determines the behavior of your telephone when the Spkr key is pressed. If this option is set to Idle or Ringing, your telephone will automatically select an idle call appearance when you press the Spkr key, or activate the speakerphone when you press a Speed Dial or DSS key while on- hook.

With the Ringing option selected, you can answer a ringing call appearance by pressing the Spkr key.

Muting the Microphone

You can mute the microphone for privacy. The other party will not be able to hear you, but you can still hear the other party.

Press the Mute key to disable or enable the microphone.

The indicator light on the Mute key will be on when the microphone is muted.

Muting is turned off when you change from speakerphone to handset use.

The microphone is located in front of the rubber pad on the bottom of the telephone, in front of the Hold key.

For proper speakerphone operation, make sure that the telephone is placed directly on a hard surface, and the microphone is unobstructed.
