Mute Function

Description
Mute Function allows you to block outgoing audio to the other party while on a call.
With 44-Series phones, audio can be blocked through both the microphone and the handset. (For
handset mute, an FF key must first be assigned as a MUTE key.)
Operation
To block outgoing audio using the Handset Mute (44-Series phones only):
1. During a handset call, press the MUTE key.
2. To turn Mute off, press the MUTE key again.
To block outgoing audio using the Microphone Mute:
1. During a handset call, press the MUTE FF key
2. To turn Mute off, press the MUTE FF key again.

Considerations
The fixed MUTE key works both for handset mute and microphone mute. But only 44-Series phones
have the fixed MUTE key, so others must assign an FF key as a MUTE key.
