AUTOMATIC HANDSFREE OPERATION
The Automatic Handsfree Operation feature lets you place a call and
have a conversation in handsfree mode. This feature automatically
activates when you leave your handset on the cradle and dial a
number from the dialpad. When the caller disconnects, your extension
automatically becomes available.
This feature can be activated on the prime line or the idle line (non-
prime line) if your extension has this option. See the Definitions
section at the end of this manual or the Dial Intercom features for
further information.
Action
1. Leave the handset on the
cradle.
2. Dial the first digit of a telephone
number.
OR
Press a programmed feature
button.
NOTES
1. The FT12 and FT12D can only use this feature as a handsfree
monitor. The FT12DS and FT24DS can use the microphone and
speaker to talk with the called party.
2. Preselection can be used with this feature. This means that you
can use the automatic handsfree operation for dial intercom lines
and other lines that appear.
3. The system ignores the first digit of the number you enter if the
prime line or selected line is not idle, or if the extension is in the
Program mode or Test mode.
Results

You hear ringback.
You hear the caller's
voice over the speaker
when he/she answers.
