On-line indicator The on-line indicator (A) flashes when speech is detected, indicating to others that you are on a call. When the amplifier is first connected to power through the power adapter, the on-line indicator (A) flashes rapidly for 2 seconds. Mute indicator A flashing mute indicator (F) indicates that you have muted the call, and that the other party is not able to hear you. When the amplifier is first connected to power through the power adapter, the mute indicator flashes rapidly for 2 seconds. 4.2 Muting a call To mute a call so that the other party is not able to hear you, set the mute switch (F) to the mute position. The mute indicator (F) will flash and low beeps will be heard in the headset every 10 seconds to indicate that mute is activated. 4.3 Automatic Volume Adjust The volume of incoming calls is regulated by the Automatic Volume Adjust function, which is built into the amplifier. Automatic Volume Adjust automatically adjusts each incoming call's volume to the same level as that of the previous call, giving you a consistent volume for each and every call you receive. At any time, you may change the volume of incoming calls by adjusting the manual headset volume control (G). The volume of your next incoming call will then be at this new level.
