Using Mute

While talking on the speakerphone, you can temporarily turn off the ET-686’s mi- crophone by pressing MUTE so the other party cannot hear you. The SPEAKER indicator flashes red when a line is mut- ed. Press MUTE again to resume your conversation.

MUTE

Note: Mute is released when you press INTERCOM or HOLD, or you press either line button to switch the line.

Note: If you are using a line on the handset only, pressing HOLD on the base will not place the call on hold and vice versa.

While a call is on hold, you can tempo- rarily place the handset on the base or use the other phone line without discon- necting the current call.

To release a line from hold, press that line’s button on the handset or base, or pick up an extension phone. You can also release a call from hold by lifting the handset if the handset is on the base. Pressing HOLD again while a call is on hold does not release the hold.

Note: If you put both lines on hold, lifting the handset might not release the call. If this happens, press the line button to re- lease that line.

USING HOLD

HOLD

Press HOLD on the handset or base (where a line is in use) to place a call on hold. The indicator for that line flashes on the handset and lights red on the base.

SWITCHING BETWEEN THE HANDSET AND SPEAKERPHONE

To switch to the speakerphone while you are using the handset, press HOLD on the handset, then press that line’s button (LINE 1 or LINE 2) on the base.

To switch to the handset while you are using the speakerphone, lift the handset off the base. Or, if the handset is off the base, press HOLD on the base, then press that line’s button (LINE 1 or LINE 2) on the handset.
