Phone Modes
The “Phone Modes” topic provides the instructions for: (1) Mode Selection--how to select the mode for the phone to operate/function
and (2) Changing Mode Settings--how to establish the different mode settings.
Your phone can be set to operate in one of four modes selected from the Phone modes menu:
l
Normal
The phone’s usual or normal mode of operation (ringing when a call is received, etc). (See Flag.)
l
Meeting
The phone’s mode of operation when in a meeting (vibrate when a call is received) so it does not disturb others.
l
The phone’s mode of operation when the phone is in your pocket (to ring or vibrate when a call is received).
l
Car
The phone’s mode of operation when traveling in a car and used with hands-free accessory.
