Abbreviated Ringing (#305)

Use this feature to activate or deactivate Abbreviated Ringing at the system telephone at a
specific extension. When you are on a call and Abbreviated Ringing is Active, any incoming call
rings only once. The green light next to the line or pool button flashes until the call is answered or
the caller hangs up (or for a transferred call, until the call returns to the transfer return extension).
This feature prevents incoming calls from distracting you when you are busy on another call. To
allow calls to ring repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to Not Active.

Considerations

Abbreviated Ringing applies only to system telephones.
Abbreviated Ringing is typically set to Not Active for operators and others who handle many
calls quickly so they have an audible reminder of incoming calls.
Abbreviated Ringing applies to outside, transferred, and intercom calls.
The volume of an abbreviated ring is lower than a normal ring.
Calls to a busy extension ring at a lower volume than normal even if Abbreviated Ringing is
set to Not Active.

Programming
