Managing Calls

This section shows you how to manage incoming calls. The phone can alert you of incoming calls using
one of many different ringtones. Ringtones are played through the handset speaker unless you have
silenced the handset speaker. If you are wearing a headset, you will hear an in-ear notification instead of
a speaker alert.
