USING THE
SPEAKERPHONE
Making a Call
To make a call using the speakerphone,
press
LINE 1 (or LINE 2 ), listen for the
dial tone, then dial the number. When
you press a line button on the base, that
line’s SPEAKER indicator on the base
lights. The same line’s indicator on the
handset flashes to show that someone
is using that line at the base.
Note: If either SPEAKER indicator on
the base is flashing, someone at the
handset is using the line. Press the oth-
er line button.
To end a speakerphone call, press LINE
1 (or LINE 2 ) again.
Answering a Call
When a call comes in, the indicator for
that line flashes at the handset and
base.
To answer a call, press the line button
for the line that is ringing, or press any
number key. The indicator for that line
lights at the base and flashes at the
handset.
If you receive an incoming call on a line
while you are talking on the speaker-
phone on the other, the new call’s line
indicator flashes and you hear a low ring
if you have set the
RINGER VOL to HI or
LO . Press the line button for the incom-
ing call. The current call is automatically
placed on hold.
If both lines have an incoming call,
pressing a number key answers the line
that received a call first, unless only one
line has its ringer on. In that case, press-
ing a number key answers the line with
its ringer on.
Adjusting the Speakerphone

To set the speakerphone’s volume, slide
