Although the BTH-500-ZU has a built-in speaker for listening to received calls, some users may prefer to use
a listen only earphone for enhanced privacy. The accessory jack on the speaker microphone will accept any
mono earphone with a 3.5 mm audio plug. When an earphone is used, the front-firing speaker is disabled.
