Using the Speakerphone
To use the speakerphone, press the Speaker button (the handset can be either on or off hook).
Using the Headset with Your IP Phone
Install the headset as described in the “Connecting Wired and Wireless Headsets (Optional)”
section on page 19.
NOTE Steps to use your headset with the IP phone may vary. Consult the user documentation for your
headset for more information.
To use a wired headset, press the Headset button on your phone and dial the number to place a
call, or press the headset button to answer a ringing call.
To use a wireless headset, lift the receiver off hook before speaking or listening through the
headset.
Switching Between the Handset/Headset/Speakerphone During a Call
Any of these audio devices can be used during a call. Only one device at a time can be used.
The handset can be on the hook when using the speakerphone or headset function. If switching
from the handset to the speakerphone, make sure the speakerphone or headset light is
illuminated before placing the handset back on the hook. (If you are switching from the
handset to a wireless headset, however, do not replace the handset or you will disconnect the
call.)
