VOLUME

On the Base

Set RING VOL for each line (L1 or L2) on the back of the base to HI, LO, or OFF. With RING VOL set to OFF, the base’s ringer does not sound when a call is re- ceived, but the handset still rings when it is off the base (as does any other phone connected to the same line). The hand- set does not ring when it is on the base.
