Using the Speakerphone

Your telephone contains a speakerphone that lets you converse "hands free"
without having to use the handset. A speakerphone also allows others in the room
to listen and participate in a telephone conversation.
When your phone rings, to turn on the speakerphone and answer the call (without
lifting the handset) do one of the following:
•

•
To activate or deactivate the speakerphone anytime during a call, press the
SPEAKER button on your phone.
When the speaker is active, the handset becomes inactive, and vice versa.
When the speakerphone is on, press the VOLUME buttons to adjust the
speakerphone volume. The speakerphone microphone is optimized for speaking
within 3 feet from in front of the microphone.
