Reorder tone: A fast busy tone which indicates that you attempted to use a restricted feature or
use a feature improperly.
Confirmation tone: Two short beeps followed by silence informs you that the feature you used
was successfully completed.
Ring Again tone: One long and two short pings indicate that the line for which you left a Ring
Again request has come free.

Display features
The M5208 has an adjustable two-line display which shows you helpful information about the
features you activate or the calls you make and receive. When making an outgoing call, for
instance, the numbers you dial are shown on the display.
If your organization has installed the Calling Name Display feature, your display shows an
incoming caller's name and telephone number.
If your organization has also installed the Reason Display feature, your display shows additional
information. For example, when you have forwarded an incoming call to another telephone in
your system your display shows the following information:
Helen Jones 12345
Forwarded Jim Hunter 54321
The top line of the display shows the name and number of the person receiving the forwarded
call. The bottom line shows your name and number as well the name of the feature which has
been activated.
