Microphone Cutoff
Description
Microphone Cutoff lets a system phone user turn off their phone’s handsfree or handset micro-
phone at any time. When activated, Microphone Mute prevents the caller from hearing conversa-
tions in the user’s work area. The user may turn off the microphone while their telephone is idle,
busy on a call or ringing. The microphone stays off until the user turns it back on.
Conditions

Default Setting
Enabled (using MIC key).
