Group settings for handset
phonebook
Group settings can help you identify
who is calling by using different ringer
tones and display colors for different
groups of callers. When adding an entry
to the handset phonebook you can
assign it to desired group (page 19).
When a call is received from a caller
assigned to a group, the group's display
color and ringer tone you selected are
used.
Changing group ringer tones
If you select "No ringer ID", the unit
will use the external ringer tone you set
on page 27 when calls from this group
are received. The default is "No
ringer ID".
