Positioning Your Station
Youshould adjust the position of the station on your desk or table to suit your indi-
vidual needs and, if applicable, maximize the performance of the sound activated
features. When using a speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are farther
fromyou than when you use a handset. Somepositioning tips for speakerphones to
consider include:
·Forthe microphoneto bestdetect yourvoice, speakwithin threefeet ofit and
face the station.
·Backgroundnoise 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.
·Placethe speakerphone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do not
place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstructions come
between you and the microphone.
Ifyou are using an Impact SCS model, your telephone has an adjustable pedestal to
allow you to select the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the
telephone, the pedestal is in its lowest
position—flush against the pedestal.

pair of notches AND INSERTthe supporting arms in the notches.
