If you press end to cancel muting, the call is disconnected and the phone will return to standby mode.

If you press xfer/del on the handset or

find handset/transfer or flash on the base while muting, the muting is canceled.

Mute Microphone

You can temporarily turn Off the microphone so that the person you are talking with cannot hear you.

With the handset

During a telephone call press and hold menu/mute to turn Off the microphone, and “Mute” appears on the display. Press menu/mute again to cancel muting.

With the base

During a telephone call press mute on the base to turn Off the microphone. Speaker LED on the base flashes. Press mute again, or

press (talk) to cancel muting.

Tone Dialing Switch-over

Some telephone companies use equipment that requires 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. For example, entering your bank account number after you have called your bank.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press /tone. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.

Traveling Out-of-Range

During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within 30 seconds.
