1.7Speakerphone Usage Guidelines

When using your EP100, 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 strength- ened.

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).

•Both parties can not 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 EP100 where it will detect sounds from keyboards, printers, paging systems, typewriters, 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.

•Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant party’s voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the switches to select your voice.

•Since the system takes several seconds to provide the best switching, constant sound patterns—such as elongating your words and playing externally-supplied music—may prevent the sound-activated switches from operating properly.
