1.6 Understanding What the Rings Mean

•
Two short rings = intercom call.
•
Single longer ring = outside call.
•
One short ring burst = voice announce.
•
Three short ring bursts = ring back from a held call, callback from a
queued call.
You can vary the ringing tone of your telephone, choosing from one of
six different rings. This way, you can identify your ring even though you
may not be close to your telephone.
Additionally, so you won't be disturbed when you're busy on a call and
another call rings at your station, the ring volume is Subdued
automatically.
