Making and Receiving Calls
Ô NOTE Ô
While charging a handset, you can not mute the ringer tone for the handset.
Ô NOTES Ô
•The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
This special number can be stored in a memory location.
•This is referred to as Chain Dialing (see “Chain Dialing” on page 37).
TEMPORARILY MUTING THE RINGER
You can mute the ringer individually on a handset. When the phone is ringing, pressing the MUTE soft key on the handset you want to mute. This mute will last for the current incoming call only. The ringer tone will return to the previous setting on the next incoming call. Ô
MUTE MICROPHONE
You can temporarily mute the microphone so that the caller cannot hear you. Press the MUTE soft key during talk mode to mute the microphone.
Mute On and 
appear in the display. To cancel muting, press the MUTE soft key again. Mute Off appears.
TONE DIALING SWITCH OVER
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch- over to tone dialing during the call. This feature is useful when you need tone dialing to use automated systems, for example, entering your bank account number after you have called your bank. Ô
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press */tone/<. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is cancelled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
TRAVELLING OUT-OF-RANGE
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise may increase. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, you will hear a beep and see Out of Range on the display, and then the handset returns to standby mode.
