Assigning ringtones
The phone has 10 built-in ringtones that can be assigned to identities, group types, and the contact
type "VIP". It is also possible to download a custom melody. When an incoming call to an identity is
ringing, the phone will play the ringtone assigned to that identity, unless it is a call from a VIP or from
a group with a distinctive ringer of their own.
Note: Ringers assigned to the contact type VIP and to any of the group types override
the ringers assigned to identities. For example, if you have assigned Ringer 1 to one of
the identities and Ringer 2 to the group "Colleagues", the phone will play Ringer 2 when
a contact from the "Colleagues" group calls that identity.
If your ringtones don’t seem to work as expected, contact your administrator. There
may be an overriding setting on the PBX.
Assigning ringtones to contact type VIP and group types: See "Ringtones" on page 42.
