Tone First / Voice First Signalling
To determine the signalling on the telephone circuit.

Tone First Signalling

When the telephone rings and the called party must press Spkr or lift the handset in
order to receive the call.

Voice First Signalling

The telephone does not ring when it is being called, rather a long tone is heard,
followed by the caller's voice coming through the speaker. This method automatically
starts in a hands free mode and allows both parties to speak with each other.
Note The calling party has control over whether Tone First or Voice First Signaling is
being used. The ability to switch between the two is setup by the System
Administrator.
³To change the signalling method while placing the call
1. Enter the extension number
2. Press 1 to turn on Tone First Signaling.
3. Press 2 to turn on Voice First Signaling.
