Most external loud ringers are analog and your phone is digital. You would also need a digital to analog converter and use an additional digital extension to make it work.
If this is a Panasonic phone connected to a phone system as in an office setting, sounds like the ringer has been turned off. Get someone to call your phone and while they are calling turn the jog dial to turn the ringer back on or use the LCD intertactive keys to turn the ringer back on.
I use the 974 4 line version in my office so the buttons may not be exactly the same but press ENTER then toggle to PHONE SETTINGS & press ENTER. Toggle to RINGER ON/OFF & press ENTER. You should see L1 in the window and the ringer may be set OFF, toggle to ON then press ENTER. Toggle to L2 and repeat the process.
When you are talking on the phone (or listening to a dial tone), the volume control works to control the volume of the receiver. When the phone is not being used, the volume control is used to control the volume of the ringer.
If the phone has a dial tone, adjust the ringer loudness (this adjustment is on
the bottom of some phones). Also check to see if there is a switch for turning
off the ringer--and turn it on.
In some
cases, you can't connect more than five phones to a given line or they won't
ring properly. If this is your situation, you may have to disconnect one or more
phones, or at least turn their ringers off.
You have to go in to programming and set the phone in the shop to ring on line 3 only and the phones in the office to not ring on line 3.If you don't know how to go in to programming please inform me.
