Ringing Options
Delay Ring is especially useful on a Cover button because it gives the sender a
chance to answer before the call rings at the receiver’s telephone. No Ring is
appropriate for users who do not usually answer outside calls. To answer a call
when a telephone is programmed not to ring, simply press the line button with the
flashing green LED.
While using programming codes or display selections to program Ring Timing
options for one line, press a line to which these options apply—any line button
with an outside line or any SA or ICOM button. If you press any other type of
button, an error tone sounds; at a display telephone, you also see an error
message. While programming Ring Timing options for all outside lines, you can
press
any
line button, not necessarily an outside line button.
