Using handsfree
On models with separate handsfree and mute buttons:
• The indicator next to the handsfree button is solid when you handsfree
is active and turns off when the telephone is set to handset or headset.
• The indicator next to the Mute button blinks when you mute the
microphone and turns off when the microphone is open.
Note: Other models of telephones have only one button for both functions.
In this case, when the telephone is on handsfree and the microphone
is on, the light is solid. If the telephone is on handsfree and the
microphone is off, the light flashes.
Wait for your caller to finish speaking before you speak. The microphone
and speaker cannot both be on at once. The voice of your caller may be cut
off if you both speak at the same time. Noises such as a tapping pencil
could be loud enough to turn on your microphone and cut off your caller's
speech.
To prevent a possible echo, keep the area around your telephone free of
paper and other objects that might screen your microphone. Turning down
the microphone volume (press the left end of
while speaking)
prevents echoes. When you change the volume level, both the microphone
and speaker volume are adjusted to prevent feedback problems.
Place the telephone so that any unavoidable local noise (such as an air
conditioner) is behind it. This limits the amount of disruptive background
noise.
Tip -
In open-concept environments, use the handset
when handsfree communication is not necessary or
when you need privacy during a call. Another option is to
use a headset.
