Konftel 50 is a conference unit for connecting to existing fixed system telephones,
DECT telephones, cell phones or computers. Konftel 50 has a omnidirectional,
highly-sensitive microphone and three speakers which, together with Konftel’s
OmniSound® provide optimal sound quality and maximum reduction of room echo,
even when the person speaking is standing at a slight distance from the unit.
Konftel 50 has five buttons. The most common functions for power, speaker volume and mute are obvious, but all the buttons have other functions for activating
various special functions and settings. Therefore, you should read the sections of
the handbook that deal with the connections you intend to use so that you do not
miss any important options.
