1.6.1 Speakerphone User Guidelines
• Both parties cannot talk at the same time. You must wait for
silence out of your loudspeaker before talking. You must stop
talking to hear the other party.
• Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from
operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will
detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging
systems, and other equipment.
• Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative
voice. For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within
three feet of it and face the telephone.
• Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant
party’s voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it
easier for the switches to select your voice.
• Since the system takes several seconds to provide the best
switching, constant sound patterns—such as elongating your
words and playing externally-supplied music—may prevent the
sound-activated switches from operating properly.
