Getting the radio to play again after Tel-Mute is activated may vary depending on the specific model and brand of your radio. Here's a general process that should apply to most car radios with Tel-Mute feature:
1. Press the "TEL/MUTE" button on your radio.** This button is typically located on the front panel of your radio. Pressing it once should unmute the audio and disable the Tel-Mute function.
2. Check the audio source selection. Ensure that the audio source selected on your radio is the one you want to listen to, such as FM or AM. If the wrong source is selected, the radio will not play any sound even when Tel-Mute is disabled.
3. Adjust the volume.** Make sure that the volume level on your radio is turned up. The volume might have been accidentally lowered or muted during the phone call.
4. Check the connections. Ensure that the proper cables or Bluetooth connection are correctly established between your radio and your mobile phone or audio device. Any loose connections can cause audio interruptions.
5. Try restarting the radio. If none of the above steps work, try resetting or restarting your radio. Turn off the radio and then turn it back on. This may resolve any temporary software glitches that might have caused the Tel-Mute issue.
6. Consult your radio's user manual.** If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, refer to the user manual or documentation for your specific radio model. It may contain additional troubleshooting steps or instructions related to the Tel-Mute feature.
If the Tel-Mute function is still active even after following these steps, it's recommended that you contact the manufacturer of your radio or seek professional assistance from an authorized technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
