Setting the Ringer Volume Switch

The switch is located on the right side of the telephone. You may set the switch to HI for high volume, LO for low volume, or OFF to turn the ringer volume off. When the switch is moved to the OFF position you will not hear ringing from the telephone. However, an extension telephone will ring during an incoming call.

Setting the B/Z type ringer

The B/Z type ringer switch is located on the bottom of the phone near the Line jacks. This switch should be set to the Z mode for business/hospitality applications and the B mode for residential applications.

Note: The Message Waiting light and the Line in Use (LIU) LEDs will not operate when the phone is set in the B ringer mode.
