Your 2740 telephone will light up its line status indicators when a non-2740 telephone such as a fax ma-
chine, modem, or standard telephone is using a line.
Note: If the line status indicators of your 2740 telephones do not function properly, either failing to light up
when a standard telephone uses a line, or staying lit even though no telephone is using a line, the loop
voltage detector setting needs to be adjusted.
The factory setting of 48 volts is appropriate for most installations. If this is not suitable, try setting
your phone to 24 volts.  If that does not work, then set it to 12 volts. You can also turn this feature OFF if
you prefer.
If a line indicator at your 2740 telephone stays lit because there is no telephone line connected,
and you wish to turn it off, do not use this feature, but set this line at this station to UNCONNECTED

Ringer Configuration
The ringers for each outside line are controlled individually at each telephone. There are three possible
settings for each line ringer:
RINGER ON: The line will ring normally.
DELAYED RING: The line will start ringing after the first 20 seconds. This is useful for an office where the
phone is normally answered at a central location.
RINGER OFF: The line will not ring.
In all these cases, the line indicators will flash to signal an incoming call.  You can always answer a ringing
line, whether or not it is ringing audibly at your telephone, by pressing the corresponding flashing line button.
