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 50 dB (A).
Activating speakerphone mode
Speakerphone mode can be activated during a call,
when dialling or when answering 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.
Caution:
Make sure you switch back to handset mode be-
fore you return the telephone directly to your ear.
In this way you can avoid causing damage to your
hearing.
Caution:
If you wish to replace the handset in the charg-
ing shell during a call, for example, because the
battery is flat, hold down the Speakerphone key
to prevent the call from being cleared down.
