To turn off the microphone when you are using the speaker, press
[ Mic/HFAI ]. This will mute your voice so the other party cannot hear you.
Use the Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) feature to answer
voice-signaled calls without lifting the handset (see below).
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI)
When you receive a voice-signaled intercom call, your phone beeps once to
indicate that your speaker has been turned on automatically, and you hear the
caller’s voice over your phone’s speaker. If you leave your microphone on all
the time, you can start talking when you hear the caller, without lifting the
handset. This feature is called Hands-Free Answer on Intercom.
Any user in the system can make a voice-signaled call to an idle system phone
by pressing [ Intercom ] [ ★ ] then dialing an extension number or pressing an Auto
Dial button programmed for voice signaling. (You can make a voice-signaled
call from either a system phone or a standard phone. However, if you try to
make a voice-signaled call to a standard phone or an MDC 9000 or MDW 9000
phone, it will ring.)
NOTES:
1.
The HFAI feature can be turned on or off only when your phone is idle. Muting
your voice while you are on a call only turns off the microphone for the duration
of the call.
2. If HFAI is on and you are already on a call, you will not receive any voice-
signaled calls to your extension—they will ring instead.
3. If you make a voice-signaled intercom call to a busy extension, it may result
in a voice interrupt on busy call to that extension. See “Voice Interrupt On
Busy Calls” on the next page for more information.
