Panasonic vb-42211 phone won't ring. How do I

Typically DND is turned on and off by pressing the FWD/DND button. There are three status conditions for this button indicated by the button light.
button light off: both features off(Forwarding and Do Not Disturb)
button light blinking red: Forwarding on
button light solid red: Do Not Disturb on

The functionality of this button can be customized by the phone system installer to work differently than outlined above. Station features can also be accessed through station programming using the LCD screen by pressing the button then either scrolling through the features using the LCD screen navigation keys or entering the specific program number as in 50 for FWD/DND programming.

You can use the do not disturb function on your set. When used it will stop all ringing on your set(both line ring and intercom ring). To turn on DND, press feature 85, to turn the DND back off press feature #85.

pickup the handset (phone... watever) and press the FWD/DND button then press #2 then type in the number of the mobile (or number you want to forward to...), and hang up the phone... then when your finished with the call forwarding function, press FWD/DND again and this time press #0

What 2 does it turn on the call forwarding feature
. and 0 turns off forwarding/do not disturb functions

theres 5 different functions after you press FWD/DND

0: turns FWD/DND off
1: put the phone into Do Not Disturb Mode
2: call forwarding
3: Busy-Forwarding.. which means if your on the phone and someone rings, it forwards them to the number you specify
4: No Answer- when you don't answer the phone if forwards the caller onto the number you type in
and lastly 5: Busy/No Answer- does both function 3 & 4

i hope i've helped

The phone should never ring when it is on DND.

The feature you are referring to is "Abberviated Ringing". If you are on a call and a second call comes in, it rings softly so not to bother you.

Abbreviated ringing is #305 in system programming.
Press Feature 00 (from extension 10 or 11)
Press left intercom, left intercom
press #305
enter the extension you are referring to
press 1 for active and 2 for not active.
Pres feature 00 to get out of programming.

Simple. WHen the phone is ringing, knock up the volume button.
The ringer will turn on and get louder.

Don't laugh. Push the button and read the display. It will either unset DND or CF :-).

The 7100 command is part of the sequence to cancel those features on most phone systems and 790 or 79# will reset the extension. Of course it may be different if you have a TDA or TAW box (*7100) or a KX-T xxx10 system.

Pick up the handset or press "on/off" key
Dial "73"

DND (do not disturb) is the only easy way I know of doing this for a short period.

If you do not have a button programmed for DND you can press [FEATURE] 85 to turn DND on or off.

There is a Do Not Disturb button on the base unit. Press it to turn the feature on and off.
