Options while on calls
3. Messages indicator does not flash for new and unreviewed two-way conversation record-
ing.
4. This phone does not have warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being
recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding
recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other
party that you are recording the call.
MUTE
You can use the mute function during a telephone conversation to silence
the microphone. You can hear the caller, but the caller does not hear you.
To mute a call:
• Press MUTE. When mute is on, the MUTE light blinks, the
screen shows -Mute and the -Mute appears until you
turn off mute.
To un-mute a call:
• Press MUTE again and resume speaking.
NOTE: Switching from handset to speakerphone or corded headset,
or from speakerphone or corded headset to handset, changing lines, or putting a call on
hold also cancels the mute function.
HOLD
You can use this feature to hold one line while accessing another, or as part
of the conference and call transfer features.
While on a call, press and release HOLD. The LINE indicator
for the line on hold flashes slowly in green, and a double-
beep sounds every 30 seconds to remind you that the call
is on hold. (To turn off the reminder beep, see
Hold reminder on page X.)
If you are using the base handset, you can place the
handset in the telephone base without disconnecting the
call. If you are using the speakerphone, the speakerphone
turns off automatically when you press HOLD.
To release the hold, press and release the LINE key of the call on hold.
NOTES:
1. The phone automatically disconnects a call on hold after 20 minutes. To keep a call on hold
longer than 20 minutes, release hold within 20 minutes and then place the call on hold again.
2. If a call is on hold for 3 minutes, a warning tone sounds every 30 seconds.
