Note: If you set a ringer ON or DELAYED, and a call comes in on that line while you are having a conversation on another outside line, a double ring will sound every 15 seconds to alert you of the incoming call. This feature, called “off-hook ringing”, can be turned off if you prefer. To do this, press PROGRAM, then press the soft key under NEXT repeatedly until “Off Hook Ring” appears in the display, along with the current setting. Press the soft key under CHANGE if you wish to change the setting, and press PROGRAM to exit. Note that if a call comes in on one of the out- side lines while you are engaged in an intercom call, there will never be any off hook ringing. However the line lamps will flash normally to indicate an incoming call.
