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 5866 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 SAVE the melody. If you choose SAVE , you will be
prompted to Enter Clip Name. Enter a name (up to 8 characters) for the recording. If
you make a mistake, press the
softkey to backspace. Press SAVE to confirm.

NOTE: When you want to use the Handset microphone to record ringers, do not
insert the Audio Patch Cord into the headset jack.

R&B, Reggae, Rock, etc) for you to use as your default ringer or a distinctive ringer.

preset ringers with your own. You can also record your own ringers in another 3
