Ê RingsÊ

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.

Pool	Make/receive outside calls only. Use
	the dial-out code supplied by your
	system manager.

! CAUTION:

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.

• 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.
