Using handsfree mode

In handsfree mode, you activate the
loudspeaker so that you can hear
the caller without having to hold the
handset to your ear. You therefore
have both hands free and other peo-
ple can listen in on the conversation.
Please note
Inform your caller before you use
the handsfree function so that
the caller knows a third party may
be listening.
