Record a Ringer
You can easily record a unique ringer to be used as either your Default Ringer or for a
Distinctive Ringer assigned to a specific phonebook directory. You can record with either the
provided Audio Patch Cord (not the USB cord), or with the Handset microphone. You may
record up to 9 unique ringers for a maximum of 10 seconds each.
Cued-up music typically produces the best sounding recorded ringer. It is recommended to
begin recording your ringer at the beginning of a song, rather than a portion from the middle
to produce an audibly pleasing custom ringer.
To record a ringer, follow these steps:
• Select the Sounds & Alerts icon in the Main Menu.
•
Select the
Sound Clips
icon .
• If you are using the Audio Patch Cord, insert the 3.5mm plug (the larger end) into the
headset jack of your PC or audio source. Insert the 2.5mm plug (the smaller end) into the
Headset jack on the side of the
i 5857
Handset.
You can listen to the playing music through your Handset speaker after connecting the Audio
Patch Cord and selecting the
Record Preview menu option. Adjust the recording volume at
the audio source. To begin recording, press
RECORD
. If you want to use the Handset
microphone to record ringers, select the Record Clip menu option. After the beep, and with
the Handset microphone facing the audio source, start recording.
NOTE:
If the memory is full, the Handset will prompt
Clip memory full!
• Hit the STOP softkey stop the recording.

After recording, you may
PLAY
or

prompted to Enter Clip Name. Enter a name (up to 8 characters) for the recording. If you

Reggae, Rock, etc) for you to use as your default ringer or a distinctive ringer. Three
of them are protected, you can’t replace them.You can replace the other 6 preset
ringers with your own. You can also record your own ringers in another 3 blank
locations in My Clips. You will find 10 additional sound clips excluding those preset in
the Handset on the accompanying CD-ROM.
