Hands-Free Calling

Everyday Features

2

+DQGV)UHH&DOOLQJ

The Hands-Free Call feature allows you to place calls to other 
user’s in such a way that their key telephone automatically 
answers the call using the speakerphone. This enables a 
completely hands-free conversation.

To place a hands-free call:

1

Pick up the handset.

2

Enter 

∗

 22 + User ID of the desired user.

The person you’re calling hears a notification tone and 
their phone automatically goes to speakerphone mode.

Note

Hands-free calls can only be received on key telephones. 
Therefore, you cannot place a hands-free call to a user with 
a single line telephone.
