You can set the ring tone separately for each handset.

1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].

2)Press [select/channel] to rotate through the four available ring tones (A, B, C, and D). As you switch to the next ring tone, the handset sounds a sample of that ringer.

3)When you hear the ringer you want, use [/ ] and [] to move the pointer to another menu item.

OR

If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.

The handset will use the new ring tone starting with the next incoming call.

Setting the handset ringer volume (RING.VOL.)

You can choose from three ringer volume settings separately for each handset. To turn the ringer off, select

OR

If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.

The handset will use the new ringer volume starting with the next incoming call.

Note: If you set the ring volume to OFF, this handset won’t ring. The base and other handset(s) will ring according to their individual settings.

3-3. Setting the Base Ringer Volume

You can change the base ringer volume with the phone in standby or while the phone is already ringing.

1)On the base, press [ringer]. The message counter display shows the current volume level (Hi = high, Lo = low, OF = off) and sounds the ringer at that level. If the volume level is off, the voice prompt announces “Ringer off.”

2)Press [ringer] immediately to switch to the next volume level. As you switch to the next volume level, the base sounds the ringer at that level and shows that level in the message counter display.

3)When you hear the ringer volume level you want to use, stop pressing [ringer].

Note: If you turn the ringer volume off, the base won’t ring. The handsets will ring according to their individual settings.
