Do you always have to put on the headset to answer a call? Or is there a SPEAKER on the unit?

Everyone is correct there is no speaker phone function for this phone. It mutes,re dials, has an on and off (which you use to answer), flash, set, del, up and down, bright,pause,and an out button.

Yes, you will have to have the headset on to answer, there is unfortunately no speaker function. I wish there was.

I believe you always have to have a headset plugged in...looking at it I don't see a speaker option on the unit.
1982358
There is no speaker on this phone, so yes you always have to use the headset.

To my knowledge I don't remember a speaker button. I can't use it for work, let me get back to you later today with an answer.

Yes, while on the headset I can get on the line and put the headset on mute and still hear the conversation on the other line. On the corded base when you put the call on hold you can't hear on the corded phone. I hope this helps.

I wish I could answer your question, but the phone was a gift for my 80 plus year old parents. I could call and ask if there is a jack for a headset, but they wouldn't know. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

No, of course not. The headset is simply plugged in into the headset adapter, which is included. To talk either with the unit, simply push the side "push to talk" button on the transceiver with or without the headset. Either way, you will hear all communications.

Yes you can answer a call on the base while handset is charging- but remember- you have 2 other phone handsets to use also. I did not see a headset/mi jack. Just a place to charge your cell phone on base. I love this system. Hope this helps you in your decision to buy this set or not.

I am using this headset with a Cisco SPA525G and no, I do not have to turn on the speaker phone. I simply just press the headset button on the phone when I want to use it.

Yes there is an intercom. You access it through the phone menu and select which headset you want to call.

Yes there is a speaker on each handset. Not as loud as my last phone but I have the belt clips on that may be affecting it as well... As far as duplex I don't know what that is. Guess I am a dummy...So far I have been very pleased with this system. not only is it Bluetooth compatible with headsets it also has the jack to plug in a corded headset on each handset. Hope this helps and I didn't blab on to long

You need to connect this unit to a pre-amp or amplifier to play through speakers. You can still use headsets at the PHONES port located at the lower right on the front of the unit to listen to music but to hear it on speakers you need an amplifier. Hope this helps you!

I'm not sure I understand your question. There is no external sound from the handset or the base; if you want to use a speakerphone function you would simply use whatever is on your phone. When you answer an incoming call using the red answer button on the handset it automatically routes the audio to the handset, so in that instance you would have to lift the handset to say hello and then activate the phone's external speaker manually. I am not sure if any phones have the capability of being set to automatically turn on the speakerphone when answering a call with that external handset's red answer button.

Headset not required. Just talk like a regular phone. If your hand is large enough to hold it.

Yes you can. When you get a phone call while they're connected to your phone, it rings via the headset instead of the phone's speakers, so you should be able to take calls.

You aren't able to directly answer the calls regardless of if your hands are clean/dirty/wet/dry. On the wire that connects the headset to the handset, the only controls you have are to control the volume and to mute/unmute the call. There are no controls for answering or hanging up calls. This would all have to be done from the handset.

Yes, it does have a headset jack that plugs into a little hole in the phone. The phone plugs into the wall jack. It does not have a built in speakerphone. I have used it with and without the headset and works well. Plug headset into the phone and when you lift the receiver, you will be listening/speaking with headset. Hope that helps.

yes, it has both, you can mute yourself on the call (and talk some smack on the person...teehee!) and adjust the volume. I like it, I can get alot done when I have my headset on

I think you need to do it by the handset .i only notice the mute and volume on the headset.

Hemal's response is correct. No direct answering / hang up from the headset. That said, for the price, I find this to be an excellent product. It is comfortable and provides clear voice reception to those I talk with. I use mine for business...4-6 hours a day.
