If the handset is in the charging cradle and
the Auto Answer function is activated
(page 15), the handset will take a call
automatically when you lift it out of the
cradle.
If the ringtone is intrusive, press the dis-
play key §Silence§ . You can take the call so
long as it is displayed on the screen.
Handsfree operation
In handsfree mode instead of holding the
handset to your ear you can put it down
e.g. on the table in front of you to allow
others to participate in the call.
Notes:
– Dialling using the directory, call-by-call list
(page 1, page 10) or last number redial list
(page 12) saves time re-entering numbers
and network provider access codes ("call-
by-call numbers").
