Telephone Operation
Using the Speakerphone
IMPORTANT: In the event of a power outage, the speakerphone and
answerer will not be operational.
Speakerphone Location
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.
Speakerphone Use
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 speakerphone volume by pressing the VOLUME (+ or -) buttons.
• The speakerphone indicator comes on when the speakerphone is in use.
Receiving a Phone Call
1. When the phone rings, the speakerphone indicator blinks and the caller’s
information, if any, will be shown on the display panel. Lift the handset or press the
SPEAKERPHONE button to connect your phone call.
2. You can adjust the volume of the caller’s voice by pressing the
VOLUME (+ or -) buttons.
