Recordable ringer

You can record a unique ringer as either your default ringer or as a distinctive ringer assigned to a specific phonebook entry. You can record with either the provided audio patch cord (not the USB cord), or with the handset microphone.

Cued-up music typically produces the best sounding recorded ringer. It is recommended to begin recording your ringer at the beginning of a song for optimal audibility rather than clipping a portion from the middle.
