Base Unit Speakerphone Operation
For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:
• Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might pick up these sounds.)
• 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.
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone.

to whom you are speaking.
