Using the Speakerphone or Headset
The phone is equipped with a speaker so that it can operate as a speakerphone. This enables you to converse without lifting
the handset. Pressing the speakerphone

key automatically switches on the microphone and speaker. All dialing or
conversation is automatically hands-free; the handset remains on the cradle.
There are, however, several ways of using the speaker key, such as: in conjunction with a headset, or when
SPKR
is
programmed for on/off operation, and using the
[S/HS]
(Speaker/Handset) soft key to switch between the handset and the
speaker.
