• Hands-free operation
You can receive a call and have a conversation in hands-free mode using the SP-PHONE button.
You can perform other tasks simultaneously.
Helpful hints for hands-free operation:
– If it is difficult to hear the other party's voice:
Increase the volume using the Navigator Key or Volume Key.
– If the other party has difficulty hearing you:
Decrease the volume.
– If the other party reports that your voice echoes:
Use the telephone in a room that has curtains, carpeting or both.
– If parts of the conversation cannot be heard:
If you and the other party speak at the same time, parts of your conversation may be lost.
To avoid this, try to speak alternately.
