Handsfree Monitoring

●

A [DN] must be pressed (or the handset must be taken off-hook) to actually answer the 
call. This is necessary before transferring or placing an internal call on hold.

You can press 

9RO

 or 

9RO

 to control the volume of the Handsfree Answerback 

caller’s voice and ring tone. See Chapter 1—The Grand Tour for more information on 
volume control.

Calls placed on hold by an outside party may be monitored handsfree. This feature frees you 
from having to hold the handset to your ear until the outside party returns to the call, enabling 
you to take care of other tasks in the meantime.
