ADJUSTING THE
HANDSET VOLUME
USING MUTE
To talk to someone in the room while us- ing the speakerphone without the per- son on the other end of the phone line hearing your conversation, press MUTE. MUTE appears on the base's display.
Press MUTE again to resume your phone conversation.
To adjust the volume you hear through the handset during a call, press 8to in- crease or 9 to decrease the volume. The display shows Volume Maximum, Volume High, Volume Medium, or Volume Low.
Note: If you press 8 while the volume is at the maximum or press 9while the volume is low, the setting does not change.
Hint: When you talk over the speaker- phone, the party that speaks first has priority. If you are making a call in a noisy environment, the phone might pick up the noise and assume you are still communicating, thus not switching back to the person you are speaking with. If this should happen, press MUTE so the noise will not be picked up by the phone's microphone. Press MUTE again to release when it is your turn to speak.

CHANNEL
The phone scans 30 channels (frequen- cy pairs used between the base and the handset) and automatically selects a clear channel each time you make or re- ceive a call. If you hear other conversa- tions or excessive noise during a call, press DEL/CH to select a different chan- nel. The display shows Scanning.
Note: If the handset is too far from the base, the channel might not change and you hear an error beep. Move closer to the base and try again.
