Mute (Base)

turn off the microphone. Press mute/ring again or to cancel muting.

Selecting a Different Channel

If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the phone’s channel for clear operation by pressing delete/channel . Interference can come from appliances or other phones in your home (see troubleshooting page 49).

Tone Dialing Switch-over

Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone dialing during the call. An example of this could be entering your bank account number after you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be entered using DTMF tones.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call

connects, press . Enter the desired number (like in the example above, the bank account number). These digits will be sent as tone dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 31). Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing resumes.
