Step 2
How to Use SmartConnect With a Teleconferencer
SmartConnect lets you use your teleconferencer even if you don’t have an
analog line close by. Just connect SmartConnect between your teleconferencer
and any digital (or analog) telephone with a modular handset cord.
A DJUSTING SPEAKING VOLUME
( HOW LOUD YOU SOUND TO YOUR CALLER )
During setup in Step 2, SmartConnect adapted itself to work with your telephone.
After this step, further adjustments to SmartConnect aren’t normally needed.
However, if teleconference callers say your voice is faint,
“ echoey ” or sounds like
you’re in a tunnel, fine-tune your phone’s speaking volume as follows:
• Find SmartConnect’s 3-position switch marked TRANSMIT LEVEL.
This switch controls your speaking volume (Figure 8).
• The transmit volume control has 3 positions:
(I) = lowest transmit volume (set here if your voice has an echo
or tunnel sound)
(II) = standard setting for most conversations
(III) = highest transmit volume
(set here if your voice sounds faint)
If you are unable to optimize the performance of your teleconferencer using
this switch, you may need to reset the teleconferencer. Please refer to the setup
section of your teleconferencer user guide.
