TEMPORARILY MUTING THE
RINGER
You can mute the ringer individually on a
handset. When the phone is ringing,
pressing the MUTE soft key on the handset
you want to mute. This mute will last for the
current incoming call only. The ringer tone
will return to the previous setting on the next
incoming call. Ô
MUTE MICROPHONE
You can temporarily mute the microphone
so that the caller cannot hear you. Press the
MUTE soft key during talk mode to mute the
microphone.
Mute On
and appear in the display. To
cancel muting, press the
MUTE soft key
again.
Mute Off
appears.
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. This
feature is useful when you need tone dialing
to use automated systems, for example,
entering your bank account number after
you have called your bank. Ô
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 cancelled and
pulse dialing mode resumes.
TRAVELLING OUT-OF-RANGE
During a call, as you begin to move your
handset too far from your base unit, noise
may increase. If you pass the range limits of
the base unit, you will hear a beep and see
Out of Range
on the display, and then
the handset returns to standby mode.
Ô NOTE Ô
While charging a handset,
you can not mute the ringer
tone for the handset.
Ô NOTES Ô
The tone feature only
applies when the dial
mode is set to pulse.
This special number can
be stored in a memory
location.
This is referred to as
Chain Dialing (see
“Chain Dialing” on
page 37).
