Hands Free Operation
The Phone Manager Pro application can be used in conjunction with a Hands Free
phone and/or headset.
When using a Hands Free phone and/or headset the 'phone' should be left off-hook permanently.

All calls are answered, transferred, queued etc by clicking the appropriate Call Handling Icons and by following the instructions provided in the Make a Call help text.
