1. Lift the receiver.
Notes
The indicator next to is solid when you are in
Handsfree mode. It flashes when you mute the microphone.
In open-concept environments, use the receiver or a headset
when Handsfree communication is not necessary, or when you
need privacy during a call. Always tell the person you are
speaking to that you are using Handsfree, and let them know
who else is listening to the conversation.
Direct your voice toward the telephone. The closer you are to the
telephone, the easier it is for the microphone to transmit your
voice clearly to your listener.
Wait for your caller to finish speaking before you speak. The
microphone and speaker cannot both be on at once. Your caller’s
voice 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’s volume (using
also prevents echo.
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.
Handsfree is assigned to a telephone in Administration
programming.
The
feature is not available on M7100
Telephones.
