Abbreviated

Ringing

Receptionists, and others who handle many calls quickly, often turn Abbreviated Ringing off, so they have an audible reminder of incoming calls.

Code: #305

Description: Use this procedure to turn Abbreviated Ringing on or off. When a user is on a call and Abbreviated Ringing is on (the factory setting), an incoming call rings only once. The light next to the line button flashes until

the call is answered or the caller hangs up. This feature prevents an incoming call from distracting a user busy on another call. To allow calls to ring repeat- edly at a specific extension, turn Abbreviated Ringing off for that extension.

Valid Entries: 1 = Active/On (incoming calls ring once)

2 = Not active/Off (incoming calls ring repeatedly)

Programming Steps:

1. Press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ] [ System Program ] [ System Program ] [ # ] [ 3 ] [ 0 ] [ 5 ]. The
