Using Silent Scratchpad
Your phone is preset to sound dual-tone multifrequency (DT-MF) tones when
you press the number keys during a call; however, you can set the phone so
it does not sound those tones. This is handy if you plan to use the
scratchpad memory during a call, but you do not want the other party on
the line to hear tones when you press the keys.
Follow these steps to turn the silent scratchpad on or off.

Notes: In order to send DTMF tones when you use special phone services
(such as bank by phone), you must disable the silent scratchpad
function before you place the call, or (if silent scratchpad is
on) press RCL SND after you enter the commands or codes, so your
phone sends these entries as DTMF tones. See "Using Touch-Tone
Services" in Faxback Doc. # 46000.
If silent scratchpad is on, you might hear tones when you press the
phone's number keys, but the other party on the line does not hear them.

procedure.

various finger styles (or repeatedly press <- * or # -> to scroll
backward or forward and hear each of them).

it. The phone displays Ringer n Set (where n is the number of the
ringer style you selected).
6. Press END to exit the function menu.
Changing the Alert type
Your phone is preset to ring when it receives an incoming call. To avoid
disturbing others with a ringing sound, however, you can set your phone to
vibrate gently or only flash CALL to alert you of an incoming call.
Here is a quick chart to help you understand how your phone works using
the different incoming call alert settings.

flashes.
Ring Off and Vib Off Silent start - phone makes no sound or movement,
but Call flashes.
Notes: If the battery is being charged, the phone only rings, regardless
of the alert setting. That way, you can hear the phone ring (since
you are not carrying/wearing it during charging).

different alert tone or number of vibrations. See "Using Call
Screening" below.

during a call.

answer incoming calls without you having to press a key. When automatic
answer is turned on and the phone receives a call, it rings (and/or

phone turned off. This function is handy if you want to use your phone
only for outgoing calls.
Note: If your carrier offers no-answer transfer service (like call
forwarding) and you subscribe to that service, turning on your
