P0607114 Issue 01
Norstar/BST telephones allow you to make calls without using
the handset. The M7100N/T7100 and M7000/T7000 telephones
do not support handsfree operation.
T7208 and T7316 telephones have a separate Mute key. The
system assigns Handsfree to the bottom, right memory key, but
the Mute feature is assigned to the Mute key.
T7316E telephones have both a Mute and a Handsfree key, which
are located under the dial pad.
T7316 and T7316E telephones also have a Headset key which
allows the user to switch between using the headset and using the
other features, such as Handsfree, without need to remove the
headset.
1. If you do not have a Prime line assigned to your telephone,
press a line key.
2. Press the key labelled Handsfree. The telephone internal
microphone and speaker are automatically turned on.
3. Dial your call and speak at a normal level.
1. Press the line key for the ringing call.
This step is not necessary if you have a Prime line assigned to
your telephone.
2. When your telephone rings, press the key labelled Handsfree
and speak normally.
Direct your voice toward the telephone. The closer you are to the
telephone, the easier it is for the microphone to transmit your
voice clearly to your listener.
You can switch off the telephone microphone so that you can
speak privately while you are on a handsfree call.
Press the key labelled Handsfree/Mute or Mute. The microphone
is turned off.
To turn the microphone back on again and continue your
handsfree call, press the key labelled Handsfree/Mute or Mute.
Note: The indicator next to the key labelled for Mute is solid
when you are in handsfree mode. It flashes when you mute
the microphone.
