Managing Calls
You can also assign an individual contact ring tone to contacts in your Local Directory. Individual contact
ring tones can be used during incoming calls to help you identify the party calling. You can select contact-
specific ring tones (from the phone’s 15 preloaded as well as the 8 custom ring tones) for respective
contacts in your Local Directory, which will be played back when a call from the respective contact is
incoming.
Individual contact ring tone support is dependent on the phone’s directory lookup functionality. During an
incoming call, the Local Directory is examined against the phone number of the incoming call. If a match
is found and the contact has an associated contact ring tone, the contact ring tone is played. If a match is
not found or if a contact ringtone is not assigned, the standard ring tone for the line being used to field the
incoming call is played.
Note:
1. In instances where a custom ring tone is selected as the individual contact ring tone for a Local
Directory contact and subsequently the custom ring tone is deleted, the standard ring tone will be
played.
2. Individual contact ring tone support is applicable to the Local Directory only. If you would like
to apply a ring tone for a contact in an external directory source (e.g. CSV-based directories,
Exchange Contacts, LDAP, and Xsi directories) or Incoming Callers List/Outgoing Redial List, you
must first copy the desired contact to the Local Directory.
Using the IP phone UI you can perform the following actions with regards to the Local Directory:
• Add new contacts to the Local Directory
• Edit entries in the Local Directory
• Delete all entries from the Local Directory
• Delete individual entries from the Local Directory

are configured/enabled and if the Local Directory contains contacts, press the right navigation key to
move to Local Directory contact column and press the Add New softkey.
