Accessing Options During a Call
Your phone provides a number of control functions
that you can use during a call.
Switching the Microphone Off (Mute)
You can temporarily switch your phone’s
microphone off so that the other person cannot
hear you.
Example: You may wish to say something to
another person in the room but do not
want the calling person to hear you.
1. Press the Options soft key.
2. When Mute highlights, press the Select soft
key.
The Mute icon ( ) appears on the bottom line
of the display and your correspondent can no
longer hear you.
To switch the microphone back on:
1. Press the Options soft key.
2. When Unmute highlights, press the Select soft
key.
The Mute icon disappears and your
correspondent can hear you.
Muting/Sending Key Tones
You can turn the key tones off or on during a call.
When the Mute keys option is selected, your phone
does not transmit the key tones. It allows you to
press keys without hearing annoying key tones
during a call.

To communicate with answering machines or
computerised telephone systems, the Send keys
option must be selected.
Sending DTMF Tones
You can send the DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-
Frequency) tones of the number on the display
during a call.
This option is helpful for entering a password or
account number when you call an automated
system, like a banking service.
To send the DTMF tones:
1. When you are connected to the teleservice
system, press the Options soft key.
2. Press the Down key to highlight the Send DTMF
option.
3. Press the OK soft key.
4. Enter the number you want to send and press
the OK soft key.
The tones of the displayed number are sent.
Putting a Call on Hold
You can place the current call on hold whenever you
want. You can make another call while you have a
call in progress if this service is supported by the
network. Of these two calls, one is active and the
other is on hold and you can switch between the
calls.
To place a call on hold, simply press the Hold soft
key. You can reactivate the call whenever you want
by pressing the Retrieve soft key.
