Using the Speakers and Microphone
If you are not using a headset, you can talk handsfree using your speakers and micro-
phone. The microphone has a mute feature, which, when enabled, allows you to hear
the other party but they cannot hear you. (This does not put the party on hold.) You
can also use the speakerphone for on-hook dialing, call monitoring, and background
music.
Mute Button
To mute the microphone:
Press
Mute or the MUTE menu button.
To turn the mute feature off:
Press
Mute or the UNMUTE menu button.
NOTE: The Mute button is also used to backspace when you are using the dialpad to
input letters or numbers.
Group Listen Using the Speaker
With the Group Listen feature, you can transmit a conversation over the speaker while
you use the handset to continue speaking. This allows other people to hear the caller
while the caller can only hear you.
NOTE: You cannot use this feature on a handsfree call. You must be on a call using
the handset before entering the feature code.
To turn the group listen feature on or off during a call:
Press
and dial . You hear a confirmation tone and the display
shows GROUP LISTEN ON or GROUP LISTEN OFF. (The other party will not hear
the confirmation tone.)
