To clean your phone, unplug it from the wall jack (if applicable) and use a slightly dampened cloth. To
prevent permanent damage, do not immerse the phone in water or any liquid, and do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners directly on the telephone.
Telephones with System Access (SA) Buttons
SA buttons give you access to inside or outside lines
for making and/or receiving calls. To make an outside

(usually 9) that your system manager supplies. No
dial-out code is necessary when you call another
extension.

inside ringing calls; make inside

with another co-worker(s). One
person has an SA button that is
shared with one or more others who
have SSA buttons corresponding to
it. See Rings for information about
how calls ring at these buttons.

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. 22, tells you how to change the settings. Listed below are your options:
• Personalized Ring. (MDW 9000/9010 only) Allows you to give calls ringing at your phone one of
eight distinctive rings.
• Abbreviated Ringing. 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.
