1.3Using The Speakerphone

When using your speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are farther away from you than when you use a handset. Both the signal from the loudspeaker and the signal to the microphone must be strengthened. When microphones and loudspeakers are close together, such as in a speakerphone, additional amplification typically generates a ringing sound (public address systems do this if the volume is too high or the microphone is too close to a loudspeaker).

Your speakerphone’s sound-activated switches allow either the microphone or the loudspeaker to be on at a given time. This means that voice sounds travel in only one direction at a particular moment.

NOTE: All references to fixed buttons are printed in upper case bold type, for example “Press the INTERCOM button.”

All references to interactive buttons are printed in upper case, bold italic type, for example “Press the OPTIONS button.”

Speakerphone User Guidelines

∙Both parties cannot talk at the same time. You must wait for silence out of your loudspeaker before talking. You must stop talking to hear the other party.

∙Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems, and other equipment.

∙Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative voice. For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet of it and face the telephone.
