TURNING THE RINGER
ON/OFF

You can turn the ringer on the base on
or off. Set

RINGER

on the back of the

base to the position you want.

The switch setting affects the ringer on
the base only. The handset’s ringer is
always turned on as long as the hand-
set is off the base. When you place the
handset

on the base and set

RINGER

to

OFF

, the ET-598 does not ring when

it receives a call. However, other
phones connected to the same phone
line still ring.
