Allow 1 VoIP call only You can usually make up to four VoIP calls at the same time on your phone. If, however, your DSL connection has a narrow bandwidth, there may be problems if multiple VoIP calls are made at the same time.
- Page 36 High Voice/earpiece volume is too low. Activate this option to increase the volume by 6 dB. Selected codecs / Available codecs Prerequisite: The Own Codec preference option is activated for the Voice Qual- ity in the Settings for Bandwidth area.

-
Page 37: Saving Settings On The Phone
Settings for Codecs area To save additional bandwidth and transmission capacity, on VoIP connections that use the G.729 codec you can suppress the transmission of voice packets in pauses ("Silence Suppression"). Then, instead of the background noises in your environ- ment, your caller hears a synthetic noise generated in the receiver. -
