Call waiting
Use this feature to control call-waiting calls. If you
subscribe to a call waiting service with your local
telephone company, there will be a beep if there
is an incoming call when you are already on a call
on the same line.
Press [FLASH] to put your current call on hold
and take the new call.
Press [FLASH] anytime to switch back and forth
between calls.
MUTE
Use this feature during a telephone conversation
to silence the microphone. Press [MUTE]. You hear
the other party, but the other party does not hear
you. Press [MUTE] again to cancel. Mute cancels
automatically when you end a call.
When mute is active, the MUTE light is on.
NOTE: Switching from handset to
speakerphone or headset, or from speakerphone
or headset to handset, changing lines, or putting a
call on hold also cancels the mute function.
Temporary tone dialing
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service only, use this
feature to temporarily switch dial pulse to touch-
tone dialing during a call by pressing [*TONE].
Dial the number.
Press and release [*TONE]. Buttons pressed
after this send touch-tone signals.
After you hang up, the phone automatically
returns to pulse dial mode.
