Note the following guidelines when you use 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 speaking.
• The SPEAKER indicator is on when the speakerphone is in use.
Making a Call
1. Press the SPEAKER button and the phone selects an open line.
2. Wait for a dial tone then dial a phone number.
3. Press the SPEAKER button when finished.
NOTE: Only one-way conversation is possible in speakerphone
mode. When you are speaking, you are transmitting. When you are
listening, you are receiving. You can’t do both at the same time. The
phone automatically switches between transmitting and receiving
depending on the level of the voice or the room noise detected by
the speakerphone microphone.
Receiving a Call
When the phone rings, the corresponding line’s indicator flashes rapidly.
1. Press the SPEAKER button. The speakerphone comes on automatically and selects
a line.
2. When you are finished, press the SPEAKER button again.

• To switch to the handset, pick up the handset. The speakerphone or headset
turns off.
