Ringing Patterns

System telephones have these ringing patterns:
■
An outside call—ring... ring... ring. [Release 3.0 or later, see “Unique Line Ringing (#209)” on
page 4-67 ].
■
An intercom call—ring BEEP... ring BEEP... ring BEEP. If you have a system display
telephone, the caller’s extension number (and name if programmed) appears on the display.
■
A transferred call, or an unanswered transferred or parked call that is ringing back at your
extension—ring BEEP BEEP... ring BEEP BEEP... ring BEEP BEEP. [Release 3.0 or later, see
“Unique Line Ringing (#209)” on page 4-67 ].
Dial Tones
6
There are two different dial tones when you call with a system telephone:
■
Outside dial tone is generated by your local telephone company to indicate that you are
connected with an outside line.
■
Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are connected with an
inside line. You hear this dial tone when you are making an inside or intercom call.

described here instead.
