• IDENTIFY CALLERS BY CUSTOM RINGING TONES

You can assign a ringing tone to an entry in your phone book, allowing you
to identify the caller by the tone you hear when they call.

To use this feature, you must subscribe to the Caller ID service that is
available from your service provider.

If a caller blocks Caller ID, your phone will use the Normal ringing tone
instead of the custom tone. If the ringing option for the current profile is
set to Silent, your phone will not ring with a normal tone or a custom tone.

Fifty of the entries in your phone book can have a custom tone assigned
to them. Assign these custom tones with this procedure:

1

In your phone book, find the entry where you will assign the custom
ringing tone.
