TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

To mute the microphone during a call, press the Mic Off button. An on-screen indicator appears in the upper right corner when the microphone is Off. In a call, if audio is detected, the on-screen symbol will start to flash. Pressing the Mic Off button one more time will activate the microphone again.

Note! Mic Off will mute all microphone inputs, but it will not mute audio from any AUX and VCR inputs.

When an incoming call is answered, the microphone may be in the off state because the Auto Answer setting is On+Mic Off, see Control Panel > Auto Answer. The icon will flash once you start speaking. Remember to turn on the microphone before a meeting.
