Muting the Speakerphone
If you have a Mute key, you can press it to turn off the 
microphone, so that you can carry on a conversation 
in your room that the other party on your line cannot 
hear.
Mute is also helpful when someone puts you on hold, 
since it lets you hear your party reconnect even if 
there is a high noise level in your room.

Open Listening
If you have a speakerphone, you may use your hand-
set and, at the same time, let someone nearby listen to 
the conversation over the speaker. This feature is 
called Open Listening. While Open Listening is 
active, someone nearby can hear your conversation, 
but whatever they say will not be picked up by the 
speakerphone.
