Lift the receiver.
Using Handsfree
The indicator next to
© is solid when you have
Handsfree turned on. It flashes when you mute the
microphone.
Wait for your caller to finish speaking before you speak. The
microphone and speaker cannot both be on at once. Your
caller's voice may be cut off if you both speak at the same time.
Noises such as a tapping pencil could be loud enough to turn
on your microphone and cut off your caller's speech.
To prevent a possible echo, keep the area around your
telephone free of paper and other objects that might screen
your microphone. Turning down the microphone's volume
(press the left end of
√ while speaking) prevents
echoes. When you change the volume level, both the
microphone and speaker volume are adjusted to prevent
feedback problems.
Place the telephone so that any unavoidable local noise (such
as an air conditioner) is behind it. This limits the amount of
disruptive background noise.
Tip -
In open-concept environments, use the receiver
when handsfree communication is not necessary or
when you need privacy during a call. Another option is to
use a headset.
