Using the DVC-1000 (continued)

Speakerphone Mode

The DVC-1000 has a Speakerphone Mode if the call needs to be shared with more than one person, or when it is desirable to talk without using the telephone handset. In Speakerphone Mode, the speaker on the television and the microphone in the DVC-1000 VideoPhone are used.

When a call is answered using the remote control, or a call is placed using the remote control, the DVC-1000 VideoPhone is automatically in Speakerphone Mode.

Speakerphone mode is a half-duplex audio mode , which means that only one end of the call may talk at a time. If you are talking, you will not hear the person on the other end. Because half-duplex allows only one side to talk at a time, if you are in a loud environment, you will have difficulty hearing the other side because the loud side stays active, and audio may not come through from the other side.

Making a Speakerphone Call into a Private Call

If you are sharing a VideoPhone call with a group using the Speakerphone Mode and wish to conduct a private conversation, pick up the telephone handset and turn down the audio on the televison. The others in the group will not be able to hear the conversation.

Making a Private Call into a Speakerphone Call

If a VideoPhone call is in progress using the telephone handset, Speakerphone mode can be enabled:

Press the Speakerphone button on the DVC-1000 remote control.

When the dialog appears on the video display telling you to hang up the phone, go ahead and hang up the phone.

Speakerphone mode is now active.

When in Speakerphone mode, you should face the DVC-1000 VideoPhone unit when you speak so the microphone will pick up all your words. Speak louder as you move further from the microphone. The recommended distance from the microphone in speakerphone mode is 6 to 8 feet.

If Speakerphone mode is not enabled by pressing the

 

‘Speakerphone’ button on the remote control, hanging up the

 

handset will hang up the video call.
