MUTE DELETE to silence the microphone. You
will be able to hear the person at the other end,
but they will not be able to hear you until you
press MUTE DELETE again and resume speaking.
Temporary ringer silencing
Press OFF CLEAR or MUTE DELETE while the phone
is ringing to silence the ringer temporarily.
The next phone call will ring normally.
NOTE: If you have more than one handset in use, all handsets
ring with an incoming call. Press OFF or MUTE on one handset will only
silence the ringer of that particular handset but the other handset(s) will
continue to ring.
Temporary tone dialing
If you have pulse dialing (rotary) service, you can
switch to touch tone dialing during a call by press-
ing *. This can be useful if you need to send tone
signals to access answering systems or long dis-
tance services.
After you hang up or press FLASH to access ser-
vices with your local telephone service provider,
the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing
(rotary) service.
