How do I turn the volume of the ringer off on Nortel T7316E. I don't want it on 'do not disturb' as I need to take calls/allow them to go to voicemail, but don't want to hear the ring.

Have you tried to call the phone and adjust the volume on the set while the call is coming in? I think the only way you can adjust the ringer volume is if the phone is ringing.

If the phone doesn't ring when called by the extension number of the phone then try to use the volume up button while someone is calling the phone. The volume is a multi-purpose button that doubles for phone volume and ringer volume. However, the only way to turn up the ringer is when a call is coming into the phone.

menu key??? google ---'Norstar feature codes'
feature *80 controls ringer volume
feature 85 and feature #85 adds and removes do not disturb

Maybe you set the Do Not Disturb by mistake. press "feature #85"
or maybe you call forwarded it. press 'feature #4" or turn up the ringer 'feature *80'

You can adjust the ringer of your Nortel phone by dialing Feature *6, then using the volume bar to adjust the ringer while the tone is playing, or dial Feature *80 to adjust it there.

MANY TIME A PERSON DIALS WITHOUT REALIZING THAT THE ACCEPTANCE CODE NEEDS TO BE INSERTED FIRST THE Nortel T7316E?...If you want to temporarily turn them off use do not disturb (feature 85, feature #85 to turn Do Not Distrub off) Turning off the ringing permanently will require you to program the set. Programming is done on M7310, ...regards John

Hi Have you set your DND (Do Not Disturb)?... on.

Try pressing Feature #85....

That should take of DND... or if you have 'Call Forward' set

Press Feature #4.

Hope this helps

You can disable paging through system programming but it might be easier to turn down the volume by pushing the volume down arrow when a page is being announced.

It always will. Now you need to go into system programming and program the phone to NOT ring.

You may need to change your Ring Volume. Here are some instructions on how to do so.

To Change your Ring Type:
1. Press the Feature button, then * 6
2. Press the number keys 1 – 4 to hear the different ring types
3. Press the OK softkey when you hear your desired ring
To Change the Ring Volume:
1. Press the Feature button, then * 80
2. Press the volume key up or down
3. Press the release key1 to exit and save the volume level

Let me know if this works for you.
