Switching Between the
Handset and Speakerphone
To switch to the speakerphone while
you are using the handset, press
SPEAKER on the base. When you
hear the conversation or the dial tone
on the speakerphone, press
TALK on
the handset or place the handset on
the base.
To switch to the handset while you are
using the speakerphone, simply lift the
handset off the base. Or, if the hand-
set is off the base, press
HOLD on the
base, then press TALK on the hand-
set.
Using Both the Handset and
Speakerphone
If you are using the speakerphone,
someone else can press
TALK on the
handset and join the conversation.
If you are using the handset, one or
more people can join the conversation
by pressing
SPEAKER on the base.
During the call, one of you can hang
up and let the call continue at the oth-
er keypad. Or, you can both hang up
at the same time to end the call.
Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise
from the base’s speaker, the handset
and the base are too close together.
Changing the Channel
If you notice interference, static, or
noise during a call, you can press
CH
(channel) to find a clearer channel.
The ET-550 changes to a different
channel each time you press
CH .
Note: If the handset is too far from the
base, the channel might not change.
Move closer to the base and try again.
PUTTING A CALL ON
HOLD
When using the speakerphone, simply
press
HOLD on the base to put a call on
hold without disconnecting the current
call.
