another person in the room but do not
want the calling person to hear you.
1. Press the Options soft key.
2. When Mute highlights, press the Select soft
key.
The Mute icon ( ) appears on the bottom line
of the display and your correspondent can no
longer hear you.

Putting a Call on Hold
You can place the current call on hold whenever you
want. You can make another call while you have a
call in progress if this service is supported by the
network. Of these two calls, one is active and the
other is on hold and you can switch between the
calls.
To place a call on hold, simply press the Hold soft
key. You can reactivate the call whenever you want
by pressing the Retrieve soft key.
To make a call while you have a call in progress:
1. Enter the phone number that you want to dial or
look it up in Phonebook.
2. Press the key to dial the second call.
The first call is automatically put on hold.
Or alternatively:
1. Put the current call on hold by pressing the Hold
soft key.
2. Make the second call in the normal way.
To switch between the two calls, simply press the
Swap soft key.
The current call is placed on hold and the call on
hold is reactivated so that you can continue
conversing with the other person.
To end the call on hold, press the Options soft key
and select the End held call option.
When you want to finish, end each call normally by
pressing the key.
