Switching off the Microphone (Mute)
You can temporarily switch your phone’s microphone off, so that the other person
cannot hear you.
Example: You wish to say something to person in the room, but do not want the person on the phone to
hear you.
During a call, to switch the microphone off temporarily:
1. Press the Mute. Unmute displays.
2. Press the Unmute to deactivate the Mute function.
Muting or Sending Key Tones
These options allow you to turn the key tones off or on. If the Mute Keypad Tone
option is selected, your phone does not transmit the DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-
Frequency) tones of the keys, which allows you to press keys without hearing
annoying key tones during a call.
Note: To communicate with answering machines or computerized telephone systems, the Send Keys option
must be selected.
