Making Telephone Calls
Muting a Call
While on a call, you can mute the handset, preventing the party you are speaking
to from hearing what you or someone else in the room is saying. When using the
speaker, your call is automatically muted if the handset is in the cradle.
• To mute a call, press Mute.
• To disengage mute, press Mute again.
Placing a Call on Hold
While in a call, you can place the call on hold, so that the caller cannot hear you
and you cannot hear the caller. The caller will hear a beeping tone or music, so do
not use hold while on a conference call.
• To place a call on hold, press the Hold button.
• To return to the call, press the Hold button again.
Transferring a Call
To transfer a call to another phone:
Step 1 During a call, press the Trans fer button. This places the call on hold.
Step 2 Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call.
Step 3 When the party answers, announce the call and press Trans fer.
Step 4 Hang up if the party accepts the call.
Step 5 Press Hold to return to the original call if the party refuses or does not answer the
call.
Note You can also transfer a call by pressing Transfe r when the phone begins
to ring. In this case, the caller is transferred to the other phone without
being announced, and you cannot return to this call.
