Wait a minute, you pressed the hands free button at the >>>CALLED<<< parties' extension and it didn't stop the beep?
If so, that ain't right and I'd say to try that again because that's the correct procedure to stop that beep. The HF light will stay on the first time you press it but the beeping should stop then.
If you press it again, it will mute the speakerphone and the light will flash and when you press it again it should light up solid and enable the mic. I'd make sure all that works right too.
I would get a new dentist if he stopped working on my mouth to either answer a voice call or press the mute button!! Do not worry, he will not be in business long.
Pressing the MUTE button will only MUTE the patient asking the Dentist "What the !!!! are you doing" !
Common sense should weigh in at some time!
Sorry, I am on a rant and perhaps this is not the forum.
Folks, had the same problem w/CICS and 7.1; found out that if you hit the HF/mute key TWICE, the 10 sec tone will go away; the tone was one of those screwy ideas some Nortel engineer thought was needed to notify both parties that they were on a speaker phone, in case one party was in a open office environment. Still a pain in the backside...
You only have to hit the HF button one time (from the called parties set) to disable that tone! Try that test again!
If you hit it twice it will flash and mute your mic and of course you still won't hear the tone because you have already disabled it.
The beep is actually a pretty good feature as it let's you know that you are still being monitored and pressing a button to turn it off is no problem at all for MOST users.
Seems to me that the dentist should hire an assistant to take his calls when he's with a patient.
