Audio Modes
The MC9500-K offers three audio modes for use during phone calls:
Handset Mode: Switches audio to the speaker at the top front of the MC9500-K, so you can use the 
MC9500-K as a handset. This is the default mode.
Speaker Mode: Use the MC9500-K as if on speaker phone. Tap the Speaker On button to activate this 
mode. Tap the Speaker Off button to switch back to handset mode.
Headset Mode: Connect a Bluetooth headset or a wired headset to automatically switch audio to the 
headset.
The MC9500-K defaults to handset mode. When a wired headset is plugged into the MC9500-K headset connector 
or a Bluetooth headset is configured for use with the MC9500-K, the earpiece and speakerphone are muted and 
audio is heard through the headset.
