SPEAKER

Description

Allows 7300 H-series voice terminal users to turn On a built-in speaker. The speaker allows on-hook dialing, group listening, and monitoring of call progress signals. The speaker is

turned on by pressing SPEAKER. Pressing the

button

at an idle terminal

has the same

effect as lifting the handset: the user is connected

to the selected line and hears Dial Tone.

An

associated LED is lighted when the Speaker is

On.

Speaker volume may

be adjusted by

the

terminal’s volume control located on the left side of the set.

 

The

speaker and associated LED are turned Off by pressing SPEAKER again or by lifting

the

handset. The latter operation connects the

handset to the associated

voice channel.

When using the handset, pressing SPEAKER will turn On the speaker to support the Group Listen feature; pressing SPEAKER again will turn Off the speaker and associated LED. Note that once the user has lifted the handset, it is not possible to return to “hands-free” operation. Hanging up the handset will terminate the call whether the speaker is On or off.

Note: The built-in speaker provides one-way communication (listen only). The user must pickup the handset to converse.

Considerations

The built-in speaker supports group listening, monitoring of calls (e.g., while waiting on hold), and on-hook dialing.
