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 sliding the VOLUME
control on the right side of the base unit.
• The speakerphone indicator light comes on when the
speakerphone is in use.
