Do Not Disturb (DND)

You can use the Do Not Disturb (DND) function to work without being disturbed by incoming calls. If this function is enabled, all incoming calls are rejected. Every rejection is followed by a missed call record on your display, allowing you to call the number later. Outgoing calls are set up without limitations.

Pre-program a button for the Do Not Disturb mode. The active state is signalled by a shining LED indicator at the button. Press the pre-programmed button again to cancel the mode. Refer to 10.4.2 Programmable Buttons - Setting for DND button programming.
