You can temporarily turn Off the microphone so that the person you are talking with cannot hear you.

During a telephone call, press the MUTE soft key to turn Off the microphone. “Mute” and appear in the display. Press the MUTE OFF soft key to cancel muting.

While using the base speakerphone, press mute on the base to turn Off the microphone.

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. For example, entering your bank account number after you have called your bank.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press /tone/t on the handset or base. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
