Console Keypad
The console keypad is used for dialing, call processing and accessing
3300 ICP features. You can adjust the slope of the keypad and detach
(or attach) it from the handset cradle.
The keys on the keypad are arranged in three groups:
Volume and Mute Keys – used to increase (+) or decrease (-) the
ringer volume and the volume of the earpiece in the handset or
headset. The Mute key turns the microphone in the headset or
handset on or off.

and manage calls. They include Retrieve, Hold, Answer Cancel,
Recover and Release.
