Making calls (continued)
Notes
• While talking with an outside caller via the cordless handset, the display on
the base phone shows “CORDLESS HANDSET IN USE” and you cannot
make a call with the base phone.
• When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.
Tip
You can switch between phone conversations via the handset and those via the
speakerphone, simply by picking up the handset while talking over the
speakerphone, or by pressing (SPEAKERPHONE) while talking over the handset.
To obtain the best speakerphone performance
• You may not be able to hear the other party’s voice in a noisy place.
Therefore, use the speakerphone in a quiet room.
• Do not bring your hand or other object too close to the microphone
or you will hear a shrill noise (“feedback”).
• When the speaker volume is loud, or the base phone has been placed
close to a wall, you may find that the volume drops suddenly. This
is due to a circuit in the telephone designed to protect against
feedback. In such cases, lower the speaker volume slightly.
