Speakerphone mode
Features
Speakerphone mode offers you the following advan-
tages:
• Other persons can listen to and participate in the
call.
• Your hands are free.
• When dialling, you can hear the ring tone, for exam-
ple, without having to lift the handset to your ear.
Speakerphone mode can be used effectively up to a
background noise level of 50 dB (A).
Activating speakerphone mode
Speakerphone mode can be activated during a call,
when dialling or when answering a call:
d Press the Speakerphone key. The Speakerphone key
lights up. Inform the other party when you want to acti-
vate the speakerphone to let others listen in.
Switching between speakerphone and handset
mode
d Press the Speakerphone key. The handset switches
from speakerphone to handset mode or vice versa.
The Speakerphone key lights up if speakerphone mode
is active. It does not light up if speakerphone mode is
deactivated and handset mode is activated.
Note:
Make sure you switch back to handset mode
before you return the telephone directly to your
ear. In this way you can avoid causing damage to
your hearing.
