Speakerphone User Guidelines - Comdial LCD Speakerphone User Manual

Speakerphone Characteristics
Depending on the telephone line conditions and the type of speaker-
phone at the other end, it may not be possible for the 8324F-** to
operate in full-duplex mode. If the speakerphone at the other end is a
half-duplex speakerphone and both parties are in speakerphone mode,
the half-duplex speakerphone is the controlling factor, preventing the
8324F-** from operating in full-duplex mode.
Note: Pressing any button (mute, hold, etc.) on the speakerphone
while in full-duplex mode causes the system to perform the
"speech training" test again. For example, if you press MUTE
while in full-duplex mode, when you release the call from mute, the sys-
tem will perform the entire "speech training" test again.

7.17 Speakerphone User Guidelines

• Both parties can not talk at the same time. You must wait for
silence out of your loudspeaker before talking. You must stop
talking to hear the other party.
• Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches
from operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where
it will detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers,
paging systems, and other equipment.
• Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative
voice. For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak
within three feet of it and face the telephone.
• Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant
party's voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it
easier for the switches to select your voice.
• Since the system takes several seconds to provide the best
switching, constant sound patterns—such as elongating your
words and playing externally-supplied music—may prevent the
sound-activated switches from operating properly.
