Features and Operation
Reminder Ring Timer
Description
When a CO line rings at a busy station, the call rings at the station using muted ringing. The 
CO Line Ringing Option feature enables a user to receive a reminder ring instead of muted 
ring. This timer provides a reminder ring every time the timer expires, as long as the incoming 
CO line remains connected.
If the user continues their present conversation and the CO party does not hang up, the 
Reminder Ring timer expires and the user receives another ring burst. When the key set user 
ends the existing call, ringing for the CO call reverts to normal ringing.
The Reminder Ring Timer setting is variable from 00-99 seconds in 1-second increments.
Programming Steps
1. Press the REMINDER RING flexible button (FLASH 01, Button #18). The following 
message displays:
2. Enter a valid number on the dial pad that corresponds to 00-99 seconds in 1-second 
increments. A value of 00 disables the timer, therefore the user only receives one ring 
burst at the beginning of the call.
3. Press HOLD to save the entry. A confirmation tone sounds and the display updates.
DEFAULT … Reminder Ring Timer is set to 00 second.

parties and leave them in an unsupervised conference. The initiator can re-enter the 
conference at any time. The STS can automatically terminate the call when both parties hang 
up, when Loop Supervision is provided by the Telco and enabled in the database. A 
programmable conference timer disconnects the unsupervised conference if the initiator 
does not re-enter.
