A wireless headset can be used if a person needs to move far away from the conference

It is possible to calibrate the duplex performance of the conference phone when it is  
connected to a PA system. The calibration level can be set automatically by the Avaya  
B159 or adjusted manually to any value between 0 and 5 (0 being full duplex).  
Increase the calibration if the remote party experiences disturbing echoes.  
Decrease the calibration if the remote party experiences low duplex, i.e. your voice  
is muted or clipped when the other party is speaking.  
The position of the PA system’s microphones and speakers and the amplifier’s set-  
tings may affect full duplex performance.  
Select MENU > PA > CALIBRATIoN.  
AUTO is the default setting and is recommended in most cases. The figure shown in  
brackets is the measured calibration value.  
Select different levels and compare the audio quality to achieve your preferred setting.

you make.

PA should be activated when using the PA menu option.  
Select MENU > PA > PA MoNIToR.
