The speaker automatically turns off.
If you have a 34-button BIS voice terminal, you can touch Speakerphone at

the call.
Night Service
DESCRIPTION
When the person who usually answers calls is not on duty, you can make
answering calls easy for night personnel, such as a guard. There are two ways
that you can provide Night Service for your office.
You may either want to provide the person with a 34-button voice
terminal that has all the lines, or the person may prefer to monitor the
attendant console and answer calls there. Be sure that all lines on
which calls may come in after hours are set for immediate ring. If the
lines are not normally set for this ringing option, the person can
activate the Ring Option Override feature that he or she has
programmed for the voice terminal. (See "Ring Option Override.")
