Silencing the ringers
When an incoming call rings on the HOME or CELLULAR line, you can temporarily silence the ringer on a handset, telephone base, or the telephone system. Even if you silence the ringers, you will still be able to answer the call on a handset or on the telephone base. These features only silence the ringers for the current incoming call. The next incoming calls will ring according to the volume setting.

•Press the IGNORE softkey to silence all the ringers on all the handsets, including the telephone base.
Incoming CELLULAR calls

•Press the REJECT softkey to end the incoming call. This will end the incoming CELLULAR call.
You can also press OFF/CANCEL on the handset or CANCEL on the telephone base to silence the ringers of an incoming call
