Activating/deactivating
handsfree/open listening
mode
In handsfree mode, you use the microphone
and speaker on the base rather than the
receiver. For example, this allows others to
participate in the call.
In open listening mode, you hold the con-
versation via the receiver and also activate
the speaker on the base (receiver and hands-
free mode).
¤ Inform your caller before you use the
handsfree function so that the caller
knows a third party may be listening.
