Record a Ringer

You can easily record a unique ringer to be used as either your default ringer or for a distinctive ringer assigned to a specific phonebook directory.You can record with either the provided audio patch cord (not the USB cord), or with the handset microphone.

NOTE: The space allotted for recordable ringers and picture download are dynamic. this means you can delete pictures to make more room for customer ring tones, if you wish.

Cued-up music typically produces the best sounding recorded ringer. It is recommended to begin recording your ringer at the beginning of a song, rather than a portion from the middle to produce an audibly pleasing custom ringer.

Note: Your i 5858 handset is preset with 17 musical ringer options (i.e. Jazz, R&B, Reggae, Rock, etc.) for you to use as your default ringer or a distinctive ringer. Four of the ringers are protected, you cannot replace them. You can replace the other ringers with your own recordings. You will find 14 additional sound clips excluding those preset in the handset on the accompanying CD-ROM.
