Handsfree Operation
Your telephone is capable of both half-duplex and full-duplex handsfree
operation.
Both modes of operation allow you to conduct conversations without the use
of a handset or headset. Full-duplex operation allows you and another user
with full-duplex capability to converse without overridin

each other's voices.
The other user may be using a handset, a headset, or they may be in
speakerphone mode.
Full-duplex operation requires that your telephone be connected to an

speakerphone. If the noise persists, continue the call using the handset or
switch to half-duplex operation by disconnecting the power adapter.)
