Using the function buttons on your phone (VVX 3xx/4xx series)

Function buttons allow you to use a headset or speakerphone, plus features such as mute and volume settings.

Headset button

After  you've connected your headset to your phone,  you’re ready to make or receive calls using it. If you primarily use your headset, you can turn on headset memory so your headset is automatically turned on when you make or answer calls.
