Voice Transmission; Muting The Speakerphone - Siemens ROLMphone 120 Series User Manual

Voice Transmission

A ROLMphone speakerphone only allows voice transmission in one
direction at a time. Therefore, you and the other party cannot talk
simultaneously. Also, if you are speaking you may not hear voice
interruptions or background noise, but this does not mean your call has
been disconnected.
If the noise level in your room is high, or the other party is speaking
too softly, you can increase the other party's voice volume by pressing
the Volume Up key. If the other party's voice is too loud, you can
increase your ability to interrupt by pressing the Volume Down key. If
the volume adjustment cannot compensate for the high noise level, you
can use the handset to continue the conversation.
Since the speakerphone's microphone is located on the bottom right
front side of the phone, objects need to be kept away from that area to
ensure clear transmission. Also, if your phone is near a large object and
you are farther away from the phone than the object is, your voice
volume may be reduced and your voice may sound hollow to the other
party. However, the party should still be able to understand you.

Muting the Speakerphone

If you have a Mute key, you can press it to turn off the microphone, so
that you can carry on a conversation in your room that the other party
on your line cannot hear.
Mute is also helpful when someone puts you on hold, since it lets you
hear your party reconnect even if there is a high noise level in your
room.
