Using Handsfree
The indicator next to © is solid when you have Handsfree turned on. It
flashes when you mute the microphone.
Wait for your caller to finish speaking before you speak. The microphone and
speaker cannot both be on at once. Your caller’s voice may be cut off if you both
speak at the same time. Noises such as a tapping pencil could be loud enough to turn
on your microphone and cut off your caller’s speech.
To prevent a possible echo, keep the area around your telephone free of paper and
other objects that might screen your microphone. Turning down the microphone’s
volume (press the left end of while speaking) prevents echoes. When
you change the volume level, both the microphone and speaker volume are adjusted
to prevent feedback problems.
