Document Revision 1 Electra Elite IPK II
2 - 34 Features
Handsfree and Monitor
Handsfree allows a Multiline Terminal user to process calls using the speaker and
microphone in the telephone instead of the handset. Handsfree is a convenience for
workers who do not have a free hand to pick up the handset. For example, a terminal
operator could continue to enter data with both hands while talking on the telephone.
There are three variations of Handsfree.
J
Handsfree
The user can place and answer calls by pressing the Speaker key instead of
using the handset.
J
Automatic Handsfree
The user can press a trunk line key or virtual extension key without first lifting
the handset or pressing the Speaker key. An extension can have Automatic
Handsfree for just outgoing calls or both outgoing calls and incoming calls.
J
Monitor
User can place a call without lifting the handset, but must lift the handset to
speak.
Handsfree Answerback/Forced Intercom Ringing
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced
Intercom call by speaking toward the telephone, without lifting the handset. Like
Handsfree, this is a convenience for workers who do not have a free hand to pick up
the handset.
Headset Operation
A multiline terminal user can utilize a customer-provided headset in place of the
handset. Like using Handsfree, using the headset frees up the user’s hands for other
work. However, Headset Operation provides privacy not available from Handsfree.
An extension with a headset has two options for when it appears busy to incoming
callers. The headset extension can be:
J
Busy to incoming callers when only one extension appearance is busy (i.e., Off-
Hook Signaling prevented)
- OR -
J
Busy to incoming callers only when both extension appearances are busy (i.e.,
Off-Hook Signaling allowed)
As the headset plugs into a separate jack on the bottom of the telephone, the handset
can still be connected to the telephone. This provides you with the option to use the
handset, headset or the speakerphone for calls.
