Mute / Un-mute
During a conference call, it can be good practice to mute yourself when not speaking to decrease the
amount of background noise for other participants.
1. During your call, press the red Mute
button (7). You can hear the callers, but they cannot hear you.
While Mute is active, the message waiting indicator will light up and the mute icon will be on the
Graphic display.
2. To un-mute, press the Mute button again to allow the caller to hear you.
