DescriptionWhile using the handset (not on speaker) during a phone conversation, you can
press the MUTE key to block audio path to the other 
party -- you can still hear
them, but they can’t hear you. This feature is called “Handset Mute.”

the phone to handle calls 
(#51 activates Headset mode).

microphone) when you are on speaker. The MUTE lamp lights steadily when the
microphone is muted, and flashes when the handset is muted.

Handsfree Answerback On and Off. When
the MUTE indicator lamp is unlit, Handsfree Answerback is ON. When the lamp
is lit, Handsfree Answerback is OFF.)

simultaneously, so that both the speaker and handset transmitters are muted (but
the speaker and handset receivers still operate). For more information about
Offhook Monitoring, see page 19 of these Release Notes.
Barge-Ins During Handset Mute.If another phone barges in on your call while
Handset Mute is ON, and you change to conference talk (but not by pressing

Off-Hook Monitoring
DescriptionOff-Hook Monitoring lets you put a call on speaker while the handset is off-hook.
You can still communicate with the outside 
party via the handset, but you will also
be able to hear the other party on the phone’s speaker. He/she will only be able to
hear what is spoken through your handset, however 
- audio will not be transmitted
through your microphone.
Operation1.During a call, press the ON/OFF key.
lAnother receiver path is established on the phone’s speaker -- you
can now hear the outside party on the speaker as well as in the
handset.
lYour phone’s microphone is muted so that the outside party hears
only what is spoken through your handset.(To mute handset
transmission, press 
MUTE.)
2.To turn off Off-Hook Monitor (“kill” the speaker but stay on the line
with the outside party through the handset), press ON/OFF again.
Separate Speaker Volume for Internal vs. CO calls
DescriptionYou can now establish separate volumes for internal (intercom) and external (CO)
calls.
To adjust volume levels, press the VOLUME key (A or V) during the appropriate
call state.
NotesAdjusting speaker volume will affect only the speaker (i.e., not the handset), and
vice-versa.
Analog Adapter
DescriptionThe Analog Adapter (VB-44100) consists of a base adapter and PC board which is
installed on the underside of the phone. It is used to connect the 44-series
largedisplay phone to an analog device such as an SLT telephone, cordless phone,
FAX machine, or modem. This 
a.llows the same phone line to be used to alternate
between normal phone calls and analog communications. 
(To install, see the
instructions supplied with 
VB-44100).

NOTE: This address will affect only the Analog Adapter, not the
Large-Display phone itself.
The first device to go off-hook will seize the line (off-hook is either lifting the
handset or 
presstig the ON/OFF key). If the analog device goes off-hook first, the
large-display phone will be unable to dial or go off-hook.
You can choose which device will ring by going off-hook at either the digital key
telephone or the analog device and dialing 
*71. The digital key telephone display
will reflect “Analog port 
RING” or “Key Tel RING”, depending on which device
is selected 
- the default is “Key Tel RING”.
You can still 
aruwer an incoming call from either device, regardless of which
device is ringing. For example, if the analog device is ringing, you can pick up the
call on the digital key telephone by going off-hook before the analog device does.
Similarly, if the digital key telephone is ringing or has not answered a voice call,
the analog device can pick up the call by going off-hook first.Page 20l

lThe “*71” code will not work if the other device is in use.
lThe “*71” code will not work if FF3 (ExtPort)# 51# is set to “0”.
lIf set to “Analog port RING”, the large-display phone will work like an
SLT/OPX (no page announcements, no voice calls from other extensions, etc.).
lIf the phone is in CF/DND (Call-Forward or Do Not Disturb), the phone will
remain in 
CF/DND even if the ringing device is changed via the *7 1 code.
lThe incoming ring pattern for the analog device is the same as for the digital
key telephone (determined by the Extension Ring Pattern in FF3 
(ExtPort)# 39#
(0-9)#). If this address is set to “0” (determined by CO), the analog device will
automatically default to “1 second ON, 3 seconds OFF.”
Ring Patterns Not Applicable to Analog Device.The following ring pattern
addresses 
will not affect the analog device:Analog Transfer Ring Pattern 
FFl 2# l# 31# (0-6)#
