Handsfree and Handsfree Answerback

- Talk over the phone Handsfree, using the built-in speaker and microphone.
- With Handsfree Answerback, answer an Intercom call by just speaking toward your phone.

Handsfree

Handsfree allows a keyset user to process calls using the speaker and microphone in the telephone (instead
of the handset). Handsfree is a convenience for workers who don't have a free hand to pick up the handset.
For example, a terminal operator could continue to enter data with both hands while talking on the phone.

Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing

Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by speak-
ing toward the phone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for workers who
don't have a free hand to pick up the handset. Incoming Intercom calls alert with two beeps if the extension
has Handsfree Answerback — a single beep if it does not.
Forced Intercom Ringing causes an Intercom call to ring the destination extension. You can enable Forced
Intercom Ringing system-wide (for all extensions), or a user can dial a code to have their Intercom call ring
the destination.

Headset Compatibility

Have the privacy of a handset call without having to hold the handset.
A keyset user can utilize a customer-provided headset in place of the handset. Like using Handsfree, using
the headset frees up the user's hands for other work. However, the headset provides privacy not available
from Handsfree.
Headset Compatibility also provides the following features. (Note that while an extension is in the Headset
mode, the system ignores all hookswitch depressions.)
