Distinctive Ringing

This function allows you to tell what type of call your phone is receiving by a distinctive ringing pattern.

Using the Distinctive Ringing Function

By default, internal calls are identified by a 1-burst ringing pattern, external calls by a 2-burst ringing pattern, and priority calls by a 3-burst ringing pattern. You can change these patterns if you wish. Please see your telephone's user manual for more information on how to change these patterns.
