Putting a Call on Hold
The Hold button allows you to place a call on “HOLD” without
disconnecting the call. When a call is on hold, you may hang up the handset
without disconnecting the call.
Note: Caller will not hear music when a call is holding on the phone.
1. Press the Holdbutton and the current call will be placed on hold. If you
were talking with the handset, you can then place the handset back in
the handset cradle without disconnecting the call. If you were talking
with the speakerphone, the call is placed on hold. The red Hold light
is turned on when a call is on hold.
2. To continue the conversation, pick up the handset and press the
Speaker button. If using headphones, press the headset button.
3. If handset is not placed in the cradle after hold, press the Hold button
again to un-hold.
Muting a Call
In addition to putting a call on hold, muting a call is a good way to mute the
phone so that the person on the other end of the line will not hear what you
are saying. You can continue to hear the person on the other end.
1. Press the Mute button to mute the call. While a call is muted, the
Speaker light will blink.
2. To release the mute, press the Mute button again and you will be able
to continue the conversation. Do not hang up the phone while a call is
muted or the call will be disconnected.

caller’s name.
