Is it possible to use the handset speakerphone while the handset is on the charger?

Yes. The home base speakerphone can function while the handset in charging.

I just experimented with this for you. You can answer the base unit without lifting the receiver by pressing a speaker phone button while the handsets are on their chargers. However, you can not do the same with the handsets (answer or speak on them with the handsets on their chargers). If the handset is in the cradle, it automatically hangs up.

Only at the base unit can you utilize the speaker phone (of the base unit itself) while the handset is charging; also, the two satellite phones cannot be used while the handset is charging. If you try it will beep about four times and the display will light up and read "Please lift up and try again."

No. You can leave the handset in the base unit and use the base unit's speakerphone with the handset in place..

Yes, this is an office phone and it has many features that I will never use. If you have many handsets you can talk to any one or even have a conference.

Yes. The home base speakerphone can function while the handset is charging.

Each hand unit can only be used when removed from its charging base. Then, each can be used as a speaker phone by pushing the "speaker" button (on the key pad just above the "1" button). Pushing this button again will turn off the speaker and return the phone to "normal" (non-speaker) operation.

I have this but do not see a port anywhere on the handset to plug one in. The speaker phone works amazing for hands free use.

You can put either or both lines on hold. No, there's no speaker phone on this unit.

I tried listening to music while charging and yes you can do that. If you have an audio cable plugged in all you gotta do is go to playback devices & change the the default from speakers to Klipsch BT One and your good to go. Hope this helps.

While charging, you can talk on the phone but I do not have bluetooth nor use my music from the phone. But the actual charger is great. Sorry I couldn't be more help. :(

I bought this as a gift so have no experience with this. I do know it's a matter of synching the speaker to the phone.

I haven't done any real research on that but it seem that is not possible. As the "connection" of the handset to the Internet or your standard line is made wireless to a base, which cannot be accesed by software... I understand your question but i'm not sure about the possibility of using a different handset... at least you can use a "headset" as it have standard plug for that on the phone :P

Yes, you can use the speakers while they are charging. I would think you could use them for an indefinite amount of time on the base.

To summarize the other posters: You can start a call with phone on the charger and you can take it off and continue talking. But if you put the phone back on the cradle it disconnects the call. Definitely a design flaw they don't seem to plan on fixing.I use it for long business meetings as well and keep it on the cradle the whole time. If I take it off to walk around a bit I can't return to cradle. No idea on battery life, but should be several hours at least.

Yes. Volume control for handset or speaker is on the face of the unit, volume control for the ringer is on the side.

I think you can! But when you want to use the car's hands free you should manually select the desired speaker from the phone :)

Yes, there is a little button with a speaker icon on it just above the Line 1 button that turns the speakerphone on or off.

When using it as a speakerphone, the speaker is on the back of the handset (opposite side from the keys).

The speaker phone is in the handset. This is a good phone for hearing-it cups your ear a bit so it doesn't pick up much background noise.
