Muting the Microphone

1) Press /Mute on the handset or MUTE on the base. Mute On and appear in the display; remains while muting is on.

) 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.
