Description 29
Microphone Disable can be assigned through system programming to any MLX
telephone, except a Queued Call Console (QCC), to limit the use of the
speakerphone. When the feature is assigned, the microphone does not function,
but the speaker functions normally. A user can listen to calls or announcements
over the speakerphone but must use the handset to respond.
For some features, such as Auto Dial, Last Number Dial, or Saved Number Dial,
the system automatically selects a line and activates the speakerphone. When
one of these features is used on a telephone with Microphone Disable assigned,
the system selects the line and activates the speaker, but the microphone is
muted automatically; the red LED next to the Mute button lights. To be heard, lift
the handset. The Mute and Speaker LEDs go off.
Also, when group pages or voice-announced transfers are received on a
telephone with Microphone Disable assigned, the user can hear the
announcement over the speakerphone, but the microphone is muted
automatically. Lift the handset to speak to an inside caller who is either
transferring a call or calling the user through an SA Voice or ICOM Voice button.
Microphone Disable is appropriate when speakerphones pick up too much
background noise, or when they are needed by only some employees.
Considerations and Constraints 29
The LED next to the Mute button goes on whenever the speakerphone is
activated. Pressing the Mute button does not turn off the LED or deactivate
Microphone Disable.
If a user presses the Speaker button before lifting the handset, the system selects
a line and the user can dial a number. The microphone is muted, and the user
must lift the handset to speak to the person being called.
