Off-Hook Monitor allows you to play a called or calling party’s voice through the 
speaker on your phone, even if you are using the handset. This allows a third party 
to hear both sides of a conversation.

Note: Off-Hook Monitor does not activate your phone’s microphone. The party at 
the other end will hear only audio transmitted through your handset.

1.  During a handset call, press the ON/OFF key. (The other party is audible through 

the speaker, but the handset is mute.)

2.  Press the ON/OFF key again, to take the caller back off speaker and continue the 

call through the handset.

You can answer intercom calls as well as access all available system features 
without lifting the handset.

Note: To answer intercom calls without lifting the handset, the system must be 
programmed for Voice Calling. (For more information, see Using Voice Recognition 
below.)

1.  When the intercom call arrives, make sure the MIC LED is on. (If it is not lit, 

press the MIC key to turn it on.)

2.  Speak into the microphone to answer the call.

1.  Press the ON/OFF key.

With the installation of additional hardware, you can use verbal commands to dial 
extensions, speed dial numbers, and access various phone features.
