Using the Phone
6.1 Going Off Hook and On Hook
You can use the handset or speaker for any call and easily switch between them – even during
the same call. Subsequent sections detail the processes for making and terminating a call. This
section briefly describes how to select between the two audio paths.
6.1.1 Using the Handset and Speaker
To use the handset, pick it up. When you have finished using it, replace it in the cradle.
To use the speaker, press and release the Speaker key. When you have finished using it, press the
key again.
6.1.2 Off Hook
The term off hook means that you do one of the following:
• pick up the handset
• press the Speaker key so that the speaker is active
The phone is said to be off hook when you have done either of these things.
6.1.3 On Hook
The term on hook means that you do all of the following:
• replace the handset in the cradle
• press the Speaker key so that the speaker is inactive
The phone is said to be on hook when both of these conditions are met.
6.1.4 Switching Between the Handset and Speaker
If you are using the handset and want to use the speaker, press the speaker key and replace the
handset in the cradle.
If you are using the speaker and want to use the handset, pick up the handset.
