2H_d][hýE\\4 2H_d][hýE\\4 2H_d][hýE\\4 2H_d][hýE\\4

You can still make or receive a call even
when the ringer is turned off. When you have
an incoming call, any other phone connected
to the same line rings, and

TURNING THE BASE’S
RINGER ON/OFF
You can set the base’s ringer to high or low,
or turn it off. At any time, except during a call,
press
SET/RING . Each time you press the
button, the phone rings at the selected set-
ting (or does not ring at the OFF setting). The
display shows

ringer to off, the RINGER OFF indicator
lights.
Even when you turn off the base’s ringer, you
can still make or receive calls using this
phone. Telephones on the same line (and
the handset if it is away from the base and its
ringer is turned on) still ring when there is an
incoming call.
You can also set the ringer in the menu set-

setting.

5. Press STOP to exit the menu setting
mode.

Your phone is preset with Auto Talk off, so
you must press
TALK to answer a call. With
Auto Talk turned on, you can answer a call
by lifting the handset from the base or, if the
handset is away from the base, by pressing
any key.
