Muting the microphone in the handset
The microphone in the handset can be activated and deactivated during a telephone con-
versation.
This enables you to confer with a third party, for example, without the caller being able
to hear you. The handset loudspeaker, however, remains on; i.e. you can still hear the
caller.
Switch the microphone on/off (muting)
Displaying the duration of a call
A few seconds after a telephone conversation begins, the display automatically stops showing
the caller number and displays the duration of call in hours, minutes and seconds instead.
Range
The handset has a range of approx. 50 meters in closed rooms and approx. 300 meters out-
doors.

icon appears continuously in the
display.
If the handset is moved too far from the base station, the icon flashes and acoustic warning
signals are issued.
