Tip: Quieting incoming calls and increasing your privacy. When you are in an area where
incoming Direct Connect calls may disturb others, or if you wish to increase the privacy of your calls,
please set your speakerphone to "off" and your ringer to "vibrate." When the speakerphone is off,
Direct Connect calls use the phone's earpiece and microphone, while still utilizing the DC Button.
You may also use an earbud or other hands-free device for increased convenience.
