Telephone Operation
Speakerphone
For hands-free operation and convenience, this unit is equipped with a
speakerphone.
For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:
• Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might
pick up these sounds and prevent the speakerphone from
going into the receiving mode when you finish talking.)
• Surfaces affected by vibration.
• Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or
next to a cabinet, which can generate an echo effect.
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:
•
The speakerphone works similar to a two-way radio in that you can only
listen or talk at one time.
• Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can be clearly heard by the
person to whom you are talking.
• You can adjust the speaker volume by adjusting the volume (
or
)
buttons while speakerphone is in use.
• The speakerphone indicator comes on when the speakerphone is in use.
