Muting Your Telephone

(not available on 8112N telephone)
By using the MUTE button, you can block transmission of your voice to
the distant party. You can do this whether you are using the handset or the
speaker. For example, if someone comes into your office to talk to you
and you do not want this conversation to interrupt the distant party, press
the MUTE button. The MUTE button light turns on when you press it
and turns off when you press it again.
To mute your telephone,
1. Press MUTE (MUTE function and light turn on). You can still
hear the distant party, but he or she cannot hear you.
To speak to the distant party,
1. Press MUTE again (MUTE function and light turn off).
