Options while on calls

Mute

Use this feature during a telephone conversation to
silence the microphone. You can hear the caller, but the
caller cannot hear you.
To mute a call:
• Press MUTE. When mute is on, the MUTE light flashes;
the screen also flashes -MUTE.
To take a call off mute:
• Press MUTE again and resume speaking.
NOTE: Transferring the call, changing lines or putting a call on hold also cancels the
mute function.

Hold

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 1-LINE 4
indicator for the line on hold flashes slowly in red. After the
call has been on hold for more than three minutes, you will
hear a triple beep every 30 seconds. (To adjust the volume of
the reminder tone or turn it off, see Hold reminder on page 22).
If you are using the speakerphone, the speakerphone turns
off automatically when you press HOLD.
To release the hold, press and release LINE 1-LINE 4 of the
call on hold.
NOTES:
1. By default, a call on hold after 10 minutes is automatically forwarded to the auto attendant, even if
the auto attendant is not activated for that line. If Persistent hold is enabled (see page 35), the call
will stay on hold until it is released or hung up. To keep a call on hold longer than 10 minutes, you
can also release the held call within 10 minutes and then place the call on hold again.
2. You cannot put an intercom call on hold.

Switching between lines

Use this feature to switch between lines during an outside call:
Press LINE 1-LINE 4 of another telephone line to make or answer another
1.
call. The current call is put on hold automatically.
2. To return to the first call, press the original LINE 1-LINE 4. The second
line is put on hold automatically.
