Comdial strives to design the features in our communications systems to
be fully interactive with one another. However, this is not always possible,
as the combinations of accessories and features are too varied and extensive
to insure total feature compatibility. Accordingly, some features identified
in this publication will not operate if some other feature is activated.
Comdial disclaims all liability relating to feature non-compatibility or
associated in any way with problems which may be encountered by
incompatible features. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
publication to the contrary, Comdial makes no representation herein as to
the compatibility of features.

IntroducingTheTelephone
Congratulations and thank you for using a Comdial telephone! This
manual serves as a helpful guide for using your new telephone’s many
functions. If you should need more information about a particular
function or on a function not listed in this guide, consult the LCD
Speakerphone Reference Manual, GCA70–245 (your system attendant
should have several copies).
1.1 Using Your Speakerphone
When using your speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are
farther away from you than when you use a handset. Both the signal from
the loudspeaker and the signal to the microphone must be strengthened.
When microphones and loudspeakers are close together (such as in a
speakerphone), additional amplification typically generates a ringing
sound (public address systems do this if the volume is too high or the
microphone is too close to a loudspeaker).
NOTE: The 8324F-** speakerphone can function in the full-duplex or
half-duplex mode. Both sets of guidelines (section 1.1.1 and
section 1.1.2) are applicable to the 8324F-**.
The 8012S-**, 8024S-**, 8324S-**, and 8312S-**
speakerphones only function in the half-duplex mode—only
section 1.1.2, Speakerphone User Guidelines, apply to these
telephones.

GCA70–281 Introducing The Telephone
LCD Speakerphone Station User's Guide 1 – 1
1.1.1 Using A Full-Duplex Speakerphone
The Impact SCS 8324F-** speakerphone uses the latest full-duplex
speakerphone technology. (Full-duplex technology enables both parties
on a speakerphone call to speak simultaneously—half duplex
speakerphones allow only one person to speak at a time.) The 8324F-**
will operate in either full-duplex or half-duplex mode depending on the
current line conditions. For example, satellite calls or calls with a delay
involved may prevent the telephone from operating in full-duplex mode.
At the beginning of each call, the speakerphone must perform a “speech
training” test to achieve optimum full-duplex performance.
To perform a speech training test,
1. Make a call on your 8324F-** full-duplex speakerphone using
the speaker mode.
2. Speak about ten consecutive words to the called party and
listen for his or her reply of about equal length. At this time,
your speakerphone will be operating in half-duplex.
3. If the called party is also using a full-duplex speakerphone, the
speech training test is complete and you will be able to carry
on a normal conversation in full duplex; that is, you and the
called party will be able to interrupt one another any time
during the conversation. However, if the called party’s
telephone is a half-duplex speakerphone, his or her telephone
is the controlling factor, preventing your speakerphone from
operating in the full-duplex mode.
NOTE: Pressing any button (mute, hold, etc.) on the speakerphone
while in full-duplex mode causes the system to perform the
“speech training” test again. For example, if you press MUTE
while in full-duplex mode, when you release the call from
mute, the system will perform the entire “speech training” test
again.
Introducing The Telephone GCA70–281
1 – 2 LCD Speakerphone Station User's Guide
1.1.2 Speakerphone User Guidelines
NOTE: The speakerphone user guidelines in this section which do not
apply to the Impact SCS model 8324F-** when it is operating
in full-duplex mode are noted. However, when the 8324F-** is
in half-duplex mode or in “speech training” mode, the
following guidelines are applicable.
Both parties cannot talk at the same time. You must wait for silence out
of your loudspeaker before talking. You must stop talking to hear the
other party. (This does not apply to the full-duplex mode.)
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,
and other equipment.
Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative voice.
For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet
of it and face the telephone.
Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant party’s
voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
switches to select your voice.
Since the system takes several seconds to provide the best switching,
constant sound patterns—such as elongating your words and playing
externally-supplied music—may prevent the sound-activated switches
from operating properly.
Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do
not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let
obstructions come between you and the microphone. Rooms with hard,
flat surfaces that reflect sound may affect the sound-activated switches.
If you are using a handset and the other party is using a speakerphone,
avoid breathing heavily into your microphone. Avoid other sounds that
may affect the distant telephone’s sound-activated switches.
In some situations, such as when either you or the distant party are in a
noisy environment, you may have to lift your handset to ensure a clear
conversation.
When both you and the distant party use speakerphones, the
sound-activated switches can occasionally detect both voices
simultaneously, thus blocking out both voices.

Three short ring bursts = ring back from a held call, callback from a
queued call.
You can vary the ringing tone of your telephone, choosing from one of
six different rings. This way, you can identify your ring even though you
may not be close to your telephone.
Additionally, so you won’t be disturbed when you’re busy on a call and
another call rings at your station, the ring volume is subdued
automatically.

1.6 Adusting Your Telephone’s Pedestal
(Models 8312S, 8324S and 8324F only)
An adjustable pedestal is provided on your telephone to allow you to
select the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive your
telephone, it will be in its lowest position — down flush against the
pedestal. You can raise your telephone to one of three higher positions
as follows:
1. Grasp the rear of the pedestal base firmly with one hand while
lifting the rear portion of the telephone upward with your other
hand.
2. While pivoting the telephone upward with one hand, pivot the
telephone supporting arms upward with your other hand while
feeling for the notches under the telephone. Notice that there
are three sets of notches under the telephone corresponding to
the three positions available.
3. When the telephone is at your desired height, find the closest
pair of notches corresponding to that height, and engage the
supporting arms with the notches. Press down slightly on the
telephone until you feel the supporting arms snap into place.
