While on a call, press CID/-VOLUMEto decrease the volume, press DIR/VOLUME+ to increase the volume.

Call waiting

If you subscribe to call waiting service with your local telephone company, there will be a beep if there is an incoming call while you are already on a call. Press PHONE/FLASH to put your current call on hold and take the new call. Press

PHONE/FLASH anytime to switch back and forth between calls.

Mute

The mute function allows you to silence the microphone. You can hear the caller, but the caller will not be able to hear you.

To mute the call:

Press MUTE to silence the microphone. When mute is on, MIC MUTED will display temporarily on the handset screen and MUTE will be shown until mute is turned off.

To un-mute the call:

Press MUTE again and resume speaking. When mute is turned off, MIC ON will display temporarily on the handset screen.

Temporary tone dialing

If dial pulse (rotary) is selected, you can switch to touch tone dialing during a call by pressing TONE*. This can be useful if it is necessary to send tone signals for access to answering systems or long-distance services.

After you hang up or press PHONE/FLASH (to receive a call waiting call), the telephone automatically returns to dial pulse (rotary) service.

Channel selection

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