Features While on a Call
While you’re on a call, you can:
• Enter Additional Numbers
• Mute Your Call
• Make a New Call
• Make a Conference Call
Enter Additional Numbers
Sometimes after connecting to a phone number, you’ll need to enter additional numbers (such as menu item
choices or your voice mailbox security code). You can enter these numbers by using either of these two
methods:
• Method 1 - Use the keyboard. Note that you can press @ (at sign) to create a * (star) tone, and press
. (period) to create a # (pound) tone.
• Method 2 - Select to open the on-screen keypad. Scroll to highlight the number or symbol you
want, then press the wheel to select it. Repeat for each character you need to enter. Press Back to
dismiss the keypad when finished.
Mute Your Call
During an active call you can mute your side of the conversation by opening the menu and selecting Mute Call
[ + M]. To open your side of the call to the listener again, open the menu and select Un-mute Call [ +M].
Make a New Call
While on an active call, you can place another call:
1 With your current call active, let the person you’re speaking to know you’re about to put them on hold.
2 Press Menu then select New Call... [ + N]. The active call is placed on hold automatically.
3 Place your second call number using one of the dialing methods described in
Place a Call
on page 67.
4 Your first call still appears on your screen, in the lower panel:
5 To switch between callers, select the button, highlighted by default in the lower panel. After you
select this button, the active caller is put on hold and their call is shown in the lower panel.
