1.3 Using Your Speakerphone
On the speakerphone-equipped models (8124S-**, 8112S-**, and
8212S-**) the microphone and loudspeaker are farther away from you
than when you use a handset. Both the signal from the loudspeaker and
the signal to the microphone must be strengthened. When microphones
and loudspeakers are close together (such as in a speakerphone),
additional amplification typically generates a ringing sound (public
address systems do this if the volume is too high or the microphone is
too close to a loudspeaker).
Your speakerphone’s sound-activated switches allow either the
microphone or the loudspeaker to be on at a given time. This means that
sounds travel in only one direction at a particular moment.
