Speakerphone Operation

Using the Base Speakerphone

Your phone features a speakerphone for ease of use and convenience during a phone conversation. At any time during a conversation, you can press HEADSET to switch to the headset, or lift the handset to stop using the speakerphone. Likewise, when you are using the headset or handset, press the speakerphone button and place the handset in the cradle to switch to the speakerphone.

NOTE: Only one-way conversation is possible in speakerphone mode. When you are speaking, you are transmitting. When you are listening, you are receiving. The speakerphone automatically switches between transmitting and receiving depending on the level of your voice or the room noise picked up by the speakerphone’s microphone.

For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:

•Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might pick up these sounds and prevent the speakerphone from going into the receiving mode when you finish talking.)

•Surfaces affected by vibration.

•Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to a cabinet, which can generate an echo effect.
