Using Handsfree Mode; Switching To Mute - Siemens Gigaset C300A User Manual

Have you ordered the CID service from
your network provider?
¤ Check whether your provider supports
Caller ID (CID) and that the function has
been activated for you. If necessary, con-
tact your provider.
Additional information on this subject can
be found on the Gigaset homepage at:

Using handsfree mode

speaker so that you can hear the caller with-
out having to hold the handset to your ear.
You therefore have both hands free and
other people can listen in on the conversa-
tion.
Please note
You may wish to inform your caller
before you use the handsfree function so
that they know a third party may be lis-
tening.
