handheld plays a tone to indicate that the call is muted.

menu, and then click Mute . The Active Call screen displays Muted and the

3. When you want to participate in the call again, click the trackwheel to view
the menu, and then click Turn Mute Off . When you turn off the mute feature,
the handheld plays a tone to indicate that the call is no longer muted.
