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.
