Call Features

Call Features

The following sections describe call-related features.

Using Handsfree Mode

You can use Handsfree Mode to activate the speaker after you lift the handset.

To use Handsfree Mode:

With the handset on-hook, dial 319 (on/off toggle).

Using Ring Intercom Always

If another extension has Handsfree Mode enabled for incoming internal calls (see the previous
section), you can use Ring Intercom Always to override Handsfree Mode on the extension,
requiring the called party to pick up the handset to answer your call.

To override Handsfree Mode for the current call:

1. Before you enter the extension number, press #.
2. Dial the extension number.

To use Ring Intercom Always to always send non-handsfree calls:

With the handset on-hook, dial 377 (on/off toggle).

Enhanced Speakerphone Mode

The Enhanced Speakerphone Mode

1

improves transmission quality while on a speakersphone

call over a limited volume level (the range is typically 1 to 3).

To enable enhanced speakerphone mode while on a call:

Do one of the following:

Press

(Special), and then press (Speaker).

Press

(Special), and then dial 310. The speakerphone returns to standard

mode when you end the call.

There will be about one second of white noise while the speakerphone circuitry is calibrated to
the call. Both parties should avoid speaking during this white noise.

NOTES

The Ring Intercom Always feature prevents calls from being answered in Handsfree
Mode (see the following section).
You cannot use Handsfree Mode if you are using a headset, or if you have more
than one telephone assigned to an extension number.

1.

This feature may or may not be enabled for your system.

NOTE

On some long-distance calls the outside party may hear their own echo when
speaking. If the amount of echo is objectionable, do not use the Enhanced
Speakerphone Mode.
