Using the Announce through Speaker Commands
Basic Calling ··· 69
• When the Announce Through Speaker property is enabled, the B2000
provides call or message announcements through both the badge speaker
and the headset. These dual announcements ensure that you will always be
notified of an incoming call, even if your headset is temporarily off. After
accepting the call, the audio is through the headset only.
When you enable this property for the B1000A badge, incoming call and
message announcements are played through only the speaker when a
headset is plugged in. After accepting the call, the audio is through the
headset only.
• If Announce through Speaker is turned off, either type of badge or a phone
plays both the announcement as well as the call or message through the
headset.
If you turn on Announce through Speaker, you can leave your headset plugged
in, and simply put it on to communicate after you hear the announcement.
When your headset is not plugged in, all calls, messages, and announcements
play through the speaker, as usual, regardless of the Announce through Speaker
setting.
Note: If you turn on Announce through Speaker for a B1000A badge and
you are wearing your headset when a call comes in, you may not hear the
announcement in a noisy environment (because it plays through the speaker);
however, you will still hear the call or message through the headset.
