In-call options (Menu 9)

The phone interface provides a number of con- trol functions that you can use during a call. To access the in-call options during a call, simply press and hold Menu for a second. The in-call options are not numbered. You cannot, there- fore, access them by the shortcut method.

Mute / Unmute — Switches off or on the com- municator’s microphone. If the communicator is connected to a hands free car kit, Mute turns off the microphone of the car kit, as well.

Hold / Unhold — Hold allows you to put a cur- rently active call on hold, so that another call can be initiated. After you have finished the new call (with Drop call, see below), the original call can be made active again by selecting Unhold. If the held call is the only call, you can also unhold

it by pressing .

Swap — This network function is available when you have one active call and one call on hold. Swap puts the currently active call on hold and activates the other call. In this way, you may con- verse with one party without ending the other call. Instead of using this function, you can press to swap between the calls (if no numbers

have been keyed in right before pressing ).

Drop call — Ends the currently active call. This function is useful when there is an active call, as well as a held call. In such a situation, pressing would terminate both calls.

Join / Private — Join includes a new participant in a conference call if supported by the network. During a conference call, Private allows you to converse privately with a selected call participant.

Transfer — The voice call transfer network ser- vice enables you to connect two voice calls to- gether and disconnect yourself from both calls. See Chapter 4 "Telephone: Conference call - Voice call transfer" on page 4-8.

Data — When you have an alternating call active, this network service changes the mode of the call
