Tip 1 of 3

Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.

 

Tip 2 of 3

When using a speakerphone, you should be reasonably close to the base (or handset) in order to hear and be heard. The optimum distance will depend on room acoustics and noise levels. It is always a good idea to control ambient noise in your environment when using a speakerphone.

 

Tip 3 of 3

When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE to temporarily turn your base microphone off. When it is your turn to speak, remember to press MUTE again to turn the microphone on.
