Answering an intercom page
When the intercom page tone sounds, the display will show the ID of the station that is paging.
1)Press TALK/Flash or Clear/Int’com on the handset, or or FIND/HOLD/INT’COM on the base, or pick up the corded handset from the base.
Note: If AutoTalk is on, the handset will automatically answer the page when you pick up the handset from the cradle. If Any Key Answer is on, you can also press any key on the handset’s dial pad.
2)To hang up an intercom call, press END on the handset or FIND/HOLD/INT’COM on the base, or return the corded handset to the base.
Muting the Microphone
Mute turns off the microphone so the caller can’t hear you. This only works while you are on a call.
1) Press /Mute on the handset or MUTE on the base. Mute On and appear in the display; remains while muting is on.
2)To cancel muting, press /Mute on the handset or MUTE on the base again. Mute Off appears. (While on a
base speakerphone call, pressing on the base is also available to cancel muting.)
Tone Dialing Switch Over
If your phone is set to pulse dialing, you can temporarily switch to tone dialing after the call connects. This feature is useful when you need tone dialing to use automated menu systems, such as telephone bank tellers, telephone prescription refills, customer support menus, etc. Make your call normally. Once your call connects, press /tone on the station. Any digits you enter from then on will be sent with tone dialing. When this particular call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing.
See Changing the dial mode on page 12 for instructions on setting your phone for pulse or tone dialing.
