Handsfree and Monitor
• Description
Handsfree allows a system phone user to process calls using the speaker and
microphone in the telephone (instead of the handset). Handsfree is a convenience for
workers who don’t 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 phone.
The system provides three variations of Handsfree operation:
Conditions
A. Keysets are half-duplex which may cause the speaker to turn off (clip) during con-
versations, giving preference to the outside party.
B. Handsfree operation during outside trunk calls is only supported by display-type
system phones/
Default Setting
Enabled.
