You can set your voice terminal so that incoming calls
ring right away, after a delay of two rings, or not at all.
Use the delayed ring option if you answer calls for
someone else when they’re not available. Use the no
ring option if someone else normally answers your
incoming calls.
To program:
Touch each line button, then dial the code for the
ringing option you prefer: The codes are *35 (no
ring), *36 (delayed ring), and *37 (immediate ring).
Volume Control

control lever on the bottom left side of the voice terminal
up (HI). To make it softer, slide the lever down (LO).
Personalized Ringing
You can choose from among eight ringing patterns. To
select one, enter programming mode and touch
