Rings-
The table below helps you identify the different types of ringing. You can also personalize ringing at your
telephone or adjust ring timing for the line buttons where calls arrive. Programming Buttons &
Settings, p. 20, tells you how to change the settings. Listed below are your options:
• Personalized Ring*. Allows you to give calls ringing at your phone one of 8 distinctive rings.
• Abbreviated Ring. When you are on a call and another call arrives at your phone, you can use
this feature to give the second call a short ring.
• Immediate Ring. Calls ring immediately on line buttons set this way.
• Delay Ring. This setting causes calls to ring at your phone after a delay. If your calls are being
covered, this allows time for another person to answer a call before you do.
• No Ring. Calls do not ring (except for returning transferred and Callback calls). Calls on lines set
for No Ring do not receive coverage (p. 14).
• Send Ring. Usually, when a call comes in on an SA button, it rings there immediately and rings
at corresponding SSA buttons after a delay, giving the person with the SA button time to answer
before the call is picked up by someone with a corresponding SSA button. When busy on another
call, the person with the SA button can use the Send Ring setting to make calls arriving at other
SA buttons ring immediately on corresponding SSA buttons instead of after a delay.
