Speakerphone (Listen and Speak) Feature
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals are equipped with a built-in speakerphone.
The Speakerphone capability allows a user to engage in a hands-free 2-way
conversation with the far-end party. The speakerphone can be turned off or on
with the SPEAKER button, can be muted with the MUTE button, and the volume
can be controlled with the VOLUME “arrow” button.
If the voice terminal has a SHIFT button and
Rest Spkr
appears below the
SPEAKER button, the user can access the Reset Speakerphone feature to adjust
the speakerphone for optimal performance.
NOTE:
If there is not a SHIFT button and Reset Spkr does NOT appear under the
SPEAKER button, the voice terminal will adjust to the surrounding
environment by itself. The user does not need to do anything manually.
By pressing the SHIFT button and then the SPEAKER button (if the voice terminal
is set for the Speakerphone feature), the user hears a set of tones as the
speakerphone performs an acoustic test of the environment. When the tones
stop, the speakerphone has finished adjusting itself and is ready for use. The user
should reset the speakerphone whenever the voice terminal is moved to another
place (even in the same room), whenever the red light next to the SPEAKER
button is fluttering, and in the unlikely event that the speakerphone is making a
squealing sound (in this last case, tones will not be heard during a call).
Speaker (Listen-only) Feature
Although the 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals are shipped from the factory with
the terminal set for the Speakerphone feature, the 8434 and 8434DX voice
terminals can be optioned instead for a 1-way, listen-only speaker. If this is the
case, use the SPEAKER button on the front of the voice terminal for turning on
and off the speaker.
The Speaker (listen-only) capability allows a user to engage in a 1-way
conversation with the far-end. Specifically, the user can only listen to the far-end.
To speak with the far-end, the user must use the handset which turns off the
speaker. The Speaker function may also be disabled.
MUTE Button
The MUTE button disables the transmitter of the speakerphone or the handset
depending on which is activated at that time. A red light next to the MUTE button
goes on when the Mute feature is activated.
VOLUME Control Button
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals have a VOLUME “arrow” button. This
button has several functions. When the user is on a call using the speaker or
speakerphone, the VOLUME button controls the volume of the speaker or
