Phones cannot be in enhanced mode while on a call together; one phone must be off hook to
allow the other phone to enter enhanced speakerphone mode. If both phones are on hook,
there is no benefit to having one phone in enhanced mode.

suitable in all user environments. In such cases, Inter-Tel recommends using AIM and/or DVK
phones, if possible.
12.19 Every Analog Phone station has a built-in, integrated speakerphone that allows the user
to dial while on hook and allows handsfree operation on outside calls and inside (intercom)
calls. In addition, the Analog Phone speaker may provide background music (if an external
music source is installed) and is used to receive pages.
12.20 A programming option can be enabled that disables the speakerphone (as described on

On certain handsfree-to-handsfree intercom calls, voice volume levels may cause
Talk within four feet of your phone.
Keep your phone at least four feet away from noise generators (e.g., PC fans). Speaker-
phones perform better in a quiet office environment.
Use any angle your model 8500-series endpoint supports as the angle makes very little
difference to levels and performance even though the microphone is "hidden" when
vertical.
Avoid using the speakerphone as a "conference room" speakerphone (e.g., a Polycom
conference phone). Conference room speakerphones, such as a Polycom, typically have
as many as three to five microphones that stretch 10 feet or more end-to-end to pick up
the voices of all people in the room. An Inter-Tel endpoint has just one microphone and
works best when you and or other parties are within four feet of the phone. If you are in
a conference room where there are multiple parties further than four feet from the
phone, it is best to use a stand-alone speakerphone designed specifically for that pur-
pose.
