Handsfree and Monitor
Description
Handsfree allows a keyset user to process calls using the speaker and microphone in the telephone
(instead of the handset). Handsfree is a convenience for workers who don’t have a free hand to pick
up the handset. For example, a terminal operator could continue to enter data with both hands while
talking on the phone.
The system provides three variations of Handsfree operation:
Conditions
(A.) DSLs can only use Handsfree Answerback to answer a voice-announced Intercom call. This
feature is not available for outside calls.
(B.) Telephones without Full Duplex Speakerphone modules are half-duplex which may cause the
speaker to turn off (clip) during conversations.
Default Setting
Enabled.

Handsfree User can place and answer calls by pressing SPK instead
of using the handset.
Automatic Handsfree User can press a line or line appearance key without first
lifting the handset or pressing SPK. An extension can
have Automatic Handsfree for just outgoing calls or both
outgoing calls and incoming line/loop key calls. Auto-
matic Handsfree can also be used with the Call Coverage
or Park features. Normally, extensions without speaker-
phones should have Automatic Handsfree for outgoing
calls only.
Monitor User can place a call without lifting the handset, but
must lift the handset to speak.
