Handsfree and Monitor
Description
Handsfree allows a keyset 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:
Handsfree Answerback/Forced Intercom Ringing
Description
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by
speaking toward the phone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for
workers who don’t have a free hand to pick up the handset.
