Other Useful Features

USING THE SPEAKER

You can use your console's speaker to dial without lifting your handset,
monitor a call on hold, or let others in the room listen to your conversation.

On-Hook Dialing

Instead of using your handset to listen while you place a call, you can use
your console's built-in speaker:
Touch Speaker.
The light goes on next to Speaker, and you hear a dial tone.
Dial the number (for Intercom calls, touch Intercom-Ring before you
dial the number).
Lift the handset when the other person answers. If no one answers,
touch Speaker again.

Monitor-on-Hold

When you've been put on hold, you can continue working while you wait
for someone to return to a call:
Touch Speaker.
Hang up.
When you hear the person on the other end return to the call:
Lift your handset.
The speaker goes off automatically.

Group Listening

To let others in the room hear your telephone conversation:
Without hanging up your handset, touch Speaker.
You must speak to the other person through the handset unless you have
a Hands-Free Unit.
TIP: Touch Speaker again before hanging up. This prevents a squeal
from your speaker as the handset comes close to it.
