Adjusting the Visual Ringer Brightness
Your new phone has visual ringers located at the top of the base unit and at the top of the cordless handset.
These visual ringers will fl ash during incoming calls, so if you are in a noisy
work environment you will be able to see when the phone is ringing. The
phone comes with a switch for base visual ringer control, so you can turn the
visual ringers off when you do not want the base to fl ash brightly during
incoming calls.
The visual ringer hi/lo/off switch allows you to set the brightness and turn
off the visual ringer on the base. You can adjust the brightness by selecting
one of three options: high, low and off. If you set the switch to off, the visual
ringer on the base will not fl ash at all during incoming calls.
