Loudspeaker—HP 1040 Fax
You do not need to pick up the handset to make a phone call. When dialing, just press the Loudspeaker button and enter the numbers. When your party answers, pick up the handset to talk to them. This feature is especially useful for checking voicemail messages.
NOTE: Your HP 1040 Fax does not have speakerphone capabilities. The loudspeaker enables you to hear calls but you must speak using the handset.
TIP: If you want to share the conversation with somebody beside you, pick up the handset and press Loudspeaker. The line is still connected and everybody can listen to the conversation.
While you are using Loudspeaker, do not place the handset beside the speaker, as this may result in howling.
