Speakerphone mode
Features
Speakerphone mode offers you the following advantages:
• Other persons can listen to and participate in the call.
• Your hands are free.
• When dialling, you can hear the ring tone, for example, without having to lift
the handset to your ear.
Speakerphone mode can be used effectively up to a background noise level (of-
fice environment) of 50 dB (A).
Activating speakerphone mode
Speakerphone mode can be activated during a call, when dialling or when an-
swering a call:
d Press the speakerphone key. Inform the other party when you want to activate
the speakerphone to let others listen in.
Switching between speakerphone and handset mode
d Press the speakerphone key. The handset switches from speakerphone to
handset mode or vice versa.
Make sure you switch back to handset mode before you return the tele-
phone directly to your ear. In this way you can avoid causing damage to
your hearing.
If you wish to replace the handset in the charging shell during a call, for
example, because the battery is flat, hold down the Speakerphone key to
prevent the call from being disconnected.
