10. Accepting, making, ending calls
You will be alerted of an incoming call via info on the display and the ring tone. Your vehicle‘s sound
system will switch onto mute. If the caller sends their telephone number with the call, this will be
shown in the display unless the number is saved in your phone. If the caller hides their number, this
will be indicated in the display.
In the standard setting, you can only accept or decline an incoming call via the touchscreen. If you
would like to accept the call, simply press down on the symbol on the left. If you don‘t want to accept
the call, please press the symbol on the right.
During the call, you have the possibility to regulate the volume of the voice of your discussion partner
through the
minus(-)
or
plus(+)
field.
By pressing down the yellow arrows you reach a sub menu. Here, you are able to select a
Keypad
,
with which you are able to send DTMF tones (e.g. to check on your mailbox).
The
Private mode
is an additional sub menu item. If you activate this, the telephone call is trans-
ferred by the HFCK to your mobile phone and it is no longer possible to hear the voice output of your
conversational partner over the car‘s loudspeakers.
Note:
Please comply with the country-specific laws concerning in-car telephone calls.

With the sub menu item
Mute
, the microphone in your vehicle is muted. You are then able to com-
municate with a passenger, for instance, without the person who is calling you being able to hear you.
If you would like to activate this function, you should inform the person with whom you are telephon-
ing accordingly as they won’t be able to hear you at all.
The next function is the telephone call
Hold
function. In contrast to the muting, your conversational
partner receives an acoustic signal that serves as a wait signal. In contrast to the possibilities offered
by a mobile phone, you are not able to initialise an outgoing call via the HFCK as long as another one
is being held.
With the
Memo
sub menu, you are given the option of being able to record part of a telephone call.
Please refer to the relevant part of the operating instructions for a detailed description.
Under the final sub menu in the listing,
Reject active
, you are able to end a telephone call. This has
the same function as pressing down on the red hand during a telephone call.
If a telephone conversation is active when you switch off your vehicle’s engine, the hands-free car kit
will remain running until the call has been ended.
