Adjusting the listening volume
You can choose from six listening volume levels
on a handset and telephone base. For both the
HOME and CELLULAR lines, each time a volume
button is pressed, the listening volume is raised
or lowered by one level. When you are at the
highest and lowest volume levels, you will hear
a tone.
To adjust the listening volume while on a call:
Using a handset
• Press VOLUME on the side of the handset.
Using the telephone base

Silencing the ringers
When an incoming call rings on the HOME or
CELLULAR line, you can temporarily silence
the ringer on a handset, telephone base, or the
telephone system. Even if you silence the ringers,
you will still be able to answer the call on a
handset or on the telephone base. These features
only silence the ringers for the current incoming
call. The next incoming calls will ring according
to the volume setting.
To silence the ringers during an incoming call:
Incoming HOME calls

on that handset or on the telephone base.

ringers on all the handsets, including the
telephone base.

• Press the SILENCE softkey to silence the ringer
on that handset or on the telephone base.
• Press the REJECT softkey to end the incoming
call. This will end the incoming CELLULAR
call.

or CANCEL on the telephone base to silence the
ringers of an incoming call

or ignore an incoming
HOME line call and the
answering system is on,
the answering system will
answer the incoming call.

call and you have voice
mail service active on
your cellular phone, the
