RINGER/MESSAGE WAITING INDICATOR
There are two different functions:
Ring Indicator: | Flashes when the telephone rings with an incoming call. |
RINGER HI/LO/OFF SWITCH
The three available positions allow selection of OFF (no sound), LOW volume, and HIGH volume of the telephone’s ringing sound during an incoming call (Figure 1B)
RINGER PITCH CONTROL
The pitch of ringing sound may be altered by rotating the control.
ALPHA-NUMERIC KEYPAD
The standard numeric digits are available for normal dialing. The alphabetic characters are provided for Voice Mail and Telstra Customnet applications.
CRADLE SWITCH
Located in the handset cradle, this plastic lever is depressed by the handset (when placed in the cradle) to cut off the line. Note: Depressing this cradle lever too briefly when intending to terminate a call may result in an accidental “hookflash” that will inadvertently place the call on hold - this is known as “phantom calls” because the held call will probably ring again at your extension within a few minutes (the other party will have hung up, so it will seem as if you were called by a phantom, hence the name “phantom calls”). If you experience this problem, when terminating your call please depress the cradle lever a little longer before making/receiving your next call (i.e. phantom calls are not a system or telephone fault).
