Mute Channel

If you have Call Waiting service, you will hear a beep if someone calls while you are already on a call. Press FLASH to put your current call on hold and answer the new call. You can press this button anytime to switch back and forth between calls.

Mute

You can press MUTE to silence the microphone while on a call. You will be able to hear the caller, but your caller will not be able to hear you until you press MUTE again to resume speaking. When you press OFF to hang up the phone, the feature will be canceled.

Temporary tone dialing

If you have pulse dial (rotary) service, you can tempo- rarily switch to touch tone dialing during a call by press- ing *. This can be useful if you need to send tone signals to access answering systems or long-distance services. After you hang up or press FLASH the phone automatically returns to pulse dial (rotary) service.

Channel selection

During a call, if you hear clicks and pops, or if the speech sometimes fades, press CHAN on the handset to scan for a clearer radio channel between cordless hand- set and base.
