This was exactly what was wrong. The phones in questions were on small metal stands and the mic was resting on the metal lip. I set the phone away from the metal lip blocking the mic and I haven't had a problem since. Thanks, -Tim PS: Pana Tech Support told me I would have to replace the phone system and all 'defective' phones to fix the problem. I'm glad I didn't take their work for it.

If that hole is blocked you can get a lot of strange occurances. Sometimes you may get feedback or it may just seem to shut down. One girl complained of speakerphone problems, over the course of two weeks we swapped the phone 3 times, and tried many other ideas- the phone always worked when we plugged it in, but after we would leave the problem came back. Then we swapped one more time and I stayed to have a cup of coffee and wait. After the new phone was settled in a while and it looked like it was working, the girl pulled a little memo paper of a few phone numbers from another part of her desk and taped it to the front of the phone-- yep, covering the mic hole. Suddenly the speaker phone problems came back! Problem solved. Placing the phone right up to the edge of something (book, papers, whatever) can have a similar effect.

On certain ports, when the user goes hands-free, the speakerphone is very low in volume. When the volume is adjusted, there is no change to the volume of the phone. The display does show that the volume is being adjusted, though. The only way to get the phone speaker to work is to physically move the phone on the desk. After it�s moved, the speaker will kick in, but if you adjust the volume at all the speaker will quit again. I have tried multiple phones in the jack and every one of them is doing this. I also tried the original phone in another jack and it too has problems. I�m not sure what the problem is at this point. Has anyone heard, or have had, this problem before?
