The following paragraphs in this chapter of the user guide describe a 
few initial adjustments that, once the station is properly installed,  you 
can make to allow you to quickly begin making and answering calls 
with some of the more basic features.
1.2  Positioning Your Speakerphone
You should adjust the position of the speakerphone on your desk or 
table to suit your individual needs and maximize the performance of 
the sound activated features.  When using your speakerphone, the 
microphone and loudspeaker are farther from you than when you use 
a handset.  Some positioning tips to consider include:
For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet 
of it and face the speakerphone.

Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from 
operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will 
detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems, 
or other equipment.
Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do 
not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstruc
-
tions come between you and the microphone.
Your telephone’s pedestal is adjustable in height to allow you to select 
the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the telephone, 
the pedestal is in its lowest position—flush against the pedestal.
•  To Adjust the Pedestal,
1.  Grasp the rear of the pedestal base firmly with one hand and 
lift the rear portion of the telephone upward with your other 
hand.
