Telephone operation
Speakerphone
For hands-free operation and convenience, this unit is equipped with a
speakerphone.
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.
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:
• The speakerphone works similarly to a two-way radio (also called FRS or
“Walkie-Talkies”) in that you can only listen or talk at one time.
•
Stay within 2 to 3 feet of the phone so that you can be clearly heard by the
caller.
•
You can adjust the speaker volume by adjusting the VOLUME
(
/ )
buttons while the speakerphone is in use.
•
The speakerphone indicator lights when the speakerphone is in use.
