Your phone has a built-in high volume loudspeaker for handsfree use. To locate the
loudspeaker, see the picture of the different keys and parts in the Quick start guide. The
loudspeaker allows you to speak and listen to the phone from a short distance without
having to hold the phone to your ear, for example, having it on a table nearby. The
loudspeaker can be used during a call, with sound applications, and when viewing
multimedia messages. Using the loudspeaker makes it easier to use other applications
while in a call.
Activating the loudspeaker
To change to using the loudspeaker during an already active call, press
. A tone is
played,
is shown in the navigation bar, and the volume indicator changes. See Fig.
7
, p.
13
.
Note: The proximity sensor may turn the loudspeaker off and change back to
earpiece mode because of bright light (infrared light coming directly from the sun
or, for example, a halogen lamp).
Note: The loudspeaker cannot be activated when you have connected a headset to
the phone.
The loudspeaker needs to be activated separately each time for phone calls, but the sound
applications such as Composer and Recorder use the loudspeaker by default.
Turning off the loudspeaker
• When you have an active call or a sound is playing, press
to turn off the
loudspeaker.

Note: In sound applications turning off the loudspeaker affects only one sound file
at a time. When you open the next sound clip or ringing tone, the loudspeaker is
used by default and needs to be turned off again.
Automatic proximity sensor
Your phone has a built-in proximity sensor. To locate the proximity sensor, see the picture
of the different keys and parts in the Quick start guide. When you put the phone to your
ear, the proximity sensor turns off the loudspeaker and changes back to earpiece mode. The
proximity sensor works by sensing if something solid is approaching, so it is possible that
the proximity sensor will react to objects that it is not meant to.
Note: The proximity sensor is not active when an application that is meant to be
used by holding the phone away from your mouth and face, for example, a game, is
active. In this case, when a call comes in, loudspeaker mode is stopped and you can
answer the call normally by pressing
and placing the phone to your ear.
Note: The proximity sensor cannot activate the loudspeaker.
