Ringing Patterns

You can tell the type of call coming in by the way the phone rings:
Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring... Outside Call
Ring-BEEP...Ring-BEEP...Ring-BEEP...
Ring-BEEP-BEEP...Ring-BEEP-BEEP...
If Unique Line Ringing is active, all incoming outside calls on MLS-
model phones ring as follows:
Line 1—pattern described above.
Line 2—ascending tone with dip.
Line 3—descending tone.
Line 4—mixed tone.
