Press Hold
Muting a call:
• To mute yourself in the call, press the Mute soft key. A mute icon displays in the status bar. Now
you can still hear the other party, but that person can’t hear you. Press Resume to resume audio
flow.
Activating the speakerphone:
• To activate the speakerphone, press the Speaker soft key and select the Speakerphone option.
How to Transfer a Call and Set up Conference Calls
A transfer connects two parties as you exit the conversation, leaving the two other parties connected.
Your handset can perform three types of transfers:
• Blind A blind transfer exits the call before the two other parties are connected, while the second
party is ringing.
• Consultative A consultative transfer enables you speak to the party the call is being transferred
to before completing the transfer.
• Attended An attended transfer connects all three parties, as in a conference call, before you
hang up.
Performing a Blind Transfer
While in an active call, or with the call on hold:
1 Open the Features shortcut menu and select Blind Transfer.
You will hear a dial tone and the Dialer will open.
2 Place the call to the target party. (See How to Use the Dialer.)
