How do I turn my ringer ON or OFF.
All Panasonic proprietary phones can have the ringers turned on or off. Most of the phones have a switch on the side or end that is labeled ringer. You just move it to the desired position. The display phones listed below do not have a switch and must be turned on/off as indicated below.
NOTE: While you can control the ringer on your phone, you do not control your phone ringing on incoming calls. As an example, if you are station 105 and the system is programmed to ring lines to 105, your phone will ring on incoming calls. You can turn your ringer on or off as you desire. However, if 105 is not programmed to ring on incoming calls, turning your ringer on will have no effect (on incoming calls).
