USING THE SPEAKER AND MICROPHONE
If you are not using a headset, you can talk handsfree using your speaker and micro-
phone. You can also use the speakerphone for on-hook dialing, call monitoring, and
background music.
Mute Button
To mute the microphone so that you can hear the other party, but they cannot
hear you (this does not put them on hold):
Press or the MUTE menu button.
To return to the call:
Press or the UNMUTE menu button.
Group Listen Using the Speaker
With the Group Listen feature, you can transmit a conversation over the speaker while
you use the handset or headset to continue speaking. This allows other people to hear
the caller while the caller can only hear you.
NOTE: You cannot use this feature on a handsfree call. You must be on a call using
the handset or a headset before entering the feature code.
To turn the group listen feature on or off during a call:
Press and dial
. You hear a confirmation tone and the display shows
GROUP LISTEN ON or GROUP LISTEN OFF. (The other party will not hear the
confirmation tone.)
NOTE: If you are using the handset, the button lamp will remain unlit, even though
the speaker is on. This allows you to place the call into handsfree mode at any time dur-
ing the call by pressing and hanging up. If you are using a headset, however, the
button lamp is lit. Pressing will disconnect the call.
