Handset Mute
44-Series phones only
CPC-AII/B Version 8.0, CPC-S/M Version 2.0, or CPC-EX Version 1.0 only
Description
While using the handset (not on speaker) during a phone conversation, you
can press the MUTE key to block audio to the other party -- you can still
hear them, but they can’t hear you. This feature is called “Handset Mute.”
Operation
1.
To turn on Handset Mute while using the handset, press the MUTE
key.
• The MUTE indicator lamp (LED next to MUTE key) will
flash.
• The handset transmitter will be muted. You will still be able
to hear the other party, but they can’t hear you.
2.
To turn off Handset Mute, do one of the following:
-- press the MUTE key again;
-- press HOLD to place the call on hold;
-- replace the handset on-hook; or
-- press the flashing FF-key to answer another call.
• Note: This will drop the first call unless Key Bank
Hold is enabled (FF1 2# 1# 9#).
• The MUTE indicator lamp will stop flashing.
Notes
Headset Use.
The Handset Mute feature also works if you are using a
headset on the phone to handle calls (#51 activates Headset mode).
Speakerphone Use.
The MUTE key works the same as before (mutes the
microphone) when you are on speaker. The MUTE lamp lights steadily
when the microphone is muted, and flashes when the handset is muted.
Handsfree Answerback.
The MUTE key enables or disables Handsfree
Answerback the same as before. (Handsfree Answerback allows you to
answer intercom calls on speaker, without picking up the handset. While
the phone is idle, press the MUTE key to toggle between Handsfree
Answerback On and Off. When the MUTE indicator lamp is unlit,
Handsfree Answerback is ON. When the lamp is lit, Handsfree
Answerback is OFF.)
Offhook Monitoring.
This feature and Handset Mute can both be ON
simultaneously, so that both the speaker and handset transmitters are muted
(but the speaker and handset receivers still operate). For more information
about Offhook Monitoring, see Appendix B:-12 of these Release Notes.
Barge-Ins During Handset Mute.
If another phone barges in on your call
while Handset Mute is ON, and you change to conference talk (but not by
pressing HOLD), Handset Mute will remain ON.
