Beyond the Basics

Using Special Features

Do Not Disturb (All calls)

DND allows you to mute the ringer of all registered handsets
and the base. With the phone in standby, press and hold DND
on the base. You will hear a confirmation tone and the DND LED
illuminates. To cancel, press DND again. You can also mute the
ringer tone while the phone is ringing by pressing DND on the base.

NOTE

If the answering machine is off, it will automatically
turn on when you activate DND. If you turn the
answering machine off while DND is on, DND
automatically turns off along with the answering
machine.

Muting the Ringer (One call only)

While the phone is ringing, press the MUTE soft key on the
handset or

on the base to mute the ringer for this call. The

phone will ring again normally on the next call. (The handset
must be off the cradle to mute the ringer.)

display shows the MUTE ON icon while the microphone is muted.
