Decide if incoming calls should ring at your voice

terminal, how the ring should sound, and how loud it

should be.

Ringing Options

You can set your voice terminal so that incoming calls

ring right away, after a delay of two rings, or not at all.

Use the delayed ring option if you answer calls for

someone else when they’re not available. Use the no

ring option if someone else normally answers your

incoming calls.

To program:

Touch each line button, then dial the code for the

ringing option you prefer: The codes are *35 (no

ring), *36 (delayed ring), and *37 (immediate ring).

Volume Control

To make the sound of the ringer louder, slide the volume

control lever on the bottom left side of the voice terminal

up (HI). To make it softer, slide the lever down (LO).

Personalized Ringing

You can choose from among eight ringing patterns. To

select one, enter programming mode and touch

Speakerphone

(or

Speaker)

repeatedly until you hear the

ringing pattern you prefer.
