Microphone Mute
Description
Microphone Mute lets a keyset user turn off their phone’s handset or Handsfree microphone at any time.
While the extension is on-hook, Microphone Mute mutes the Handsfree microphone. While off-hook,
Microphone Mute mutes the handset microphone. Once activated, Microphone Mute prevents the caller
from hearing conversations in the user’s work area. The user can turn off the Handsfree or handset micro-
phone while their telephone is idle, busy on a call, in DND or while an outside call is ringing. Answering a
call automatically cancels Microphone Mute.
While an extension has their microphone muted, an incoming voice-announced Intercom call announces
with a single beep (splash tone).
Handsfree Reply Soft Key
Display keyset users can press their HF Reply (Hfrp) soft key to turn off their telephone’s Handsfree micro-
phone for incoming Intercom calls.
