TURNING THE BASE’S RINGER ON AND OFF

To turn off the base’s ringer, set RINGER on the back of the base to OFF. You can still make or receive calls using this phone. Tele- phones on the same line (and the answering system’s handset if it is away from the base) still ring when there is an incoming call.

To turn on the base’s ringer, set RINGER to ON.

Press VOL/CID 8 or 9 to increase or de- crease to the ringer level setting.

VOL/CID

Repeatedly press VOL/CID 8 or 9 until you hear the desired ringer setting. Each time you press VOL/CID 8 or 9, the ringer changes and the display shows Ringer A High, Ringer A Low, Ringer B High, or Ringer B Low.

Note: Pressing VOL/CID 8 when the display shows Ringer A High or VOL/CID 9 when the display shows Ringer B Low does not change the setting. Press the other button to change the setting.

SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS

Set RING TIME on the side of the base to 3, 5, or TS to select how long the answering sys- tem waits to answer a call (3 rings, 5 rings, or toll-saver).

SETTING THE HANDSET’S RINGER TONE/VOLUME

You can select one of four different ringer tone/volume settings while the handset is not in the talk mode.
