Accessibility Feature Description
Visual Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) An indicator light on the phone indicates that new messages 
are waiting. Icons on the phone screen also indicate that the 
phone has new messages.
Adjustable ring tone and volume You can choose from a variety of ring tones for your phone. 
You can also change the volume of the ringer to suit your 
needs, and choose different ring tones for contacts (see 
Changing Audio Settings).
Adjustable call volume If you’re in a call, you can raise or lower the volume of the 
voice on the far end and of other phone sounds you hear (see 
Change the Volume).
Visual notifications Indicators on the phone screen (such as flashing bars or 
icons) let you know when calls are incoming or outgoing, or if 
a call is active or held. Indicators can also indicate phone 
status and if certain features are activated (see 
Understanding Phone Icons and Status Indicators).
Visual ringing Certain VVX models have visual ringing that enables the 
screen to flash bright orange for incoming calls (contact your 
system administrator).
