MICROPHONE MUTE
Your Berkshire MR42 telephone enables you to speak to another person in the same room
without the caller being able to hear the conversation:
• With a call in progress, press the MUTE button (the associated lamp will light)
• To return to the conversation, press the MUTE button again.
LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME CONTROL
The loudspeaker volume of your Berkshire MR42 telephone can be adjusted:
• Press DIAL, display shows
READY NOW
• Tap either the DOWN or UP button to select the required volume
• Press DIAL to store the last volume selected.
CALL WAITING
The hotel exchange provides the CALL WAITING service, whereby
if you are already
engaged on a call
and another caller is trying to reach you, their name (or number) appears on
the display panel, with a flashing letter
W
in front.
At the same time you will hear soft beeps in the earpiece to draw your attention.
If you decide to answer the waiting call,
tell your current caller what you are doing, then press
SHUTTLE; this puts your current caller on hold and allows you to speak privately to the new
caller. You can press SHUTTLE as often as you like to switch back and fore between callers.
To end the call you are on,
(whichever it is), and talk to the other caller, just
hang up
--the
phone will then ring and you can answer it and speak to the other caller.
To continue with the call you are on--
do nothing; the beeps will stop after about 40 seconds,
or when the other caller clears.
WHEN USING YOUR MODEM:
Before using a fax or modem on the line, switch off the CALL WAITING service; (and do not
forget to switch it back on after you have finished).
Use the CALL WAITING OFF, and CALL WAITING ON buttons (followed by DIAL) for this.
You can use these buttons to avoid interruptions in general, but remember they only work when
you are
not
already
on a call.
