Calling from Your Car By using the Ericsson portable or vehicle handsfree solutions, you can be on the phone without using your hands to hold it. HANDSFREE TYPES If you use a Vehicle Handsfree Solution, you can choose between two different ways in which your phone can handle the speech. This is done in the Handsfree sub-menu. Handsfree Type 1 Handsfree Type 1 means that the phone handles the call in semi-duplex mode. This means that you cannot speak at the same time as the person at the other end of the line. Use this alternative only if Type 2 does not work properly. Handsfree Type 2 Handsfree Type 2 means that the phone handles the call in full duplex mode. This considerably increases the quality of speech, since you do not have to wait until it is your turn to speak, and the speech becomes clearer. For Handsfree Type 2 to work properly, your phone adapts to the sound environment around the handsfree equipment. This adaptation might take a few calls. During this learning phase, the person you are talking to might hear an echo of his or her own voice (because the sound goes from the speaker into the microphone again). However, this disappears as the other person speaks. If the echo lasts longer than the first few calls, try Handsfree Type 1 instead. Setting the Handsfree Type 1. Scroll to Settings, Y ES , Handsfree, Y ES . 2. Select the type you want. Note! More sophisticated Vehicle Handsfree solutions automatically provide full duplex. They also disable the choice between Handsfree Type 1 and 2, since the choice becomes superfluous when using this kind of equipment; you always get the best quality of speech possible. ANSWERING MODE The sub-menu Answering mode includes two functions: Any key and Auto, which are useful when you use the phone with handsfree equipment. Calling from Your Car 65
