SPECIAL FEATURES
Using TONE
You may often need to use tone signals to perform special operations by phone. Bank-by-
phone and voice mail are two examples of systems that require tone signals.
To find out whether you have pulse or tone service, see page 2.6. If you have pulse
service, you can still send tone signals by following these steps:
1
Dial the number using
pulse dialing.
2
When the remote phone
answers, press TONE.
Any numbers you press
now will be sent by tone,
not pulse, for the
remainder of the call.
Using MUTE
If you mute a call during voice communication, you can hear the other party, but they
cannot hear you.
1
Press MUTE while on the
phone.
2
Press MUTE again to
resume the conversation.
4
MUTE turns off both the handset
and the microphone when you are
talking to someone. Press this button if
you don’t want the other person to hear
what you’re saying or if you are in a
very noisy environment.
