You can mute the handset, headset, or speakerphone during a call. The mute
feature temporarily disables your phone's microphone. Mute prevents the party or
parties on the other end of the line from hearing you, but does not interfere with
your ability to hear them.
To mute a call, press the Mute button. To disengage mute, press Mute again.
When you put a call on hold, the call remains active even though you and the other
party cannot hear one another. You can answer other calls while a call is on hold.
Engaging the Hold feature generates music or a beeping tone. For this reason,
avoid putting a conference call on hold.
