7.4 Listening To A Call Over The
Telephone Speaker (Group Listening)
The 8124S, 8112S, and 8212S speakerphones give you the option of
turning on the speaker in your speakerphone while you have the handset
lifted. The distant party’s voice then sounds over the speaker as well as
over the handset; however, only you handset microphone is active.
The group listening feature also works if you are using your headset
(only the headset microphone will be active).
Refer to the chapter on programming for instructions on how to program
the GROUP LISTEN button.
To activate group listening while on a call,
1. Press the preprogrammed GROUP LISTEN button.
To cancel group listening,
1. Press the preprogrammed GROUP LISTEN button again.
NOTE: You should cancel Group Listening before hanging up the
handset to end the call.
7.5 Muting Your Telephone
(not available on 8112N telephone)
By using the MUTE button, you can block transmission of your voice to
the distant party. You can do this whether you are using the handset or the
speaker. For example, if someone comes into your office to talk to you
and you do not want this conversation to interrupt the distant party, press
the MUTE button. The MUTE button light turns on when you press it
and turns off when you press it again.
To mute your telephone,
1. Press MUTE (MUTE function and light turn on). You can still
hear the distant party, but he or she cannot hear you.
To speak to the distant party,
1. Press MUTE again (MUTE function and light turn off).
