BASICS[ 22 ]
Mute Microphone
• 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
page 30.)
You can temporarily turn Off the microphone so that the person you
are talking with cannot hear you. During a telephone call press and
hold menu/mute to turn Off the microphone, and “Mute” appears on
the display. Press menu/mute again to cancel muting.
If you press end to cancel muting, the call is disconnected and the phone
will return to standby mode.
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. For example, entering your bank
account number after you have called your bank.
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 canceled and
pulse dialing mode resumes.
Traveling Out-of-Range
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise
increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within
30 seconds.
