 Rings

The table below helps you identify the different types of ringing. You can also personalize ringing
at your telephone or adjust ring timing for the line buttons where calls arrive. Programming
Buttons & Settings, p. 20, tells you how to change the settings. Listed below are your options:

• Personalized Ring. Allows you to give calls ringing at your phone one of 8 distinctive

rings.

• Abbreviated Ring. When you are on a call and another call arrives at your phone, you can

use this feature to give the second call a short ring.

• Immediate Ring. Calls ring immediately on line buttons set this way.
• Delay Ring. This setting causes calls to ring at your phone after a delay. If your calls are

being covered, this allows time for another person to answer a call before you do.

• No Ring. Calls do not ring (except for returning transferred and Callback calls). Calls on

• Send Ring. Usually, when a call comes in on an SA button, it rings there immediately and

rings at the corresponding SSA buttons after a delay, giving the person with the SA button
time to answer before the call is picked up by someone with a corresponding SSA button.
When busy on another call, the person with the SA button can use the Send Ring setting to
make calls arriving at other SA buttons ring immediately on corresponding SSA buttons
instead of after a delay.
