Phone wouldn't ring has a picture of a bell on screen

Hello, Richard -

First, if you have it or if you can download it, look in the user's manual for your phone to find out about mute/unmute or volume or ring tone or phone settings and follow the instructions.

Or . . .

If you press up Volume on your phone, that may unmute the ring tone.

Best wishes.

As per the display of your phone, I assumed that the bell is turned OFF that's why sound is not coming out from the speaker.

OK. Go to the handset direct command menu:

Press Menu
Enter code:
#238 (Silent mode 1=on 0=off)
Then Press 'Save'
To exit, press 'Off'

Other code that may help you:
#160 (0-6 Volume)
#161 (Tone)

Good luck!

Hi margaret, is there a ringer switch either on the phone handset, or is there an option in the the fax settings to go directly to print. The issue sounds fairly straight forward, somewhere the phone ringer, or the settings for the phone to ring has been inadvetently switched off. Some investigation shoud bear fruit

On my phone it means silent or vibrate. There will be a menu under settings, calls, general, or something very similar where you can change it to the normal ringing mode. If you have trouble finding the menu, access the manufacturer website.

Use the up and down keys to adjust the ring volume.

try the volume button on the side. the red bell means u have it on mute. otherwise find the profiles settings im using a rugby and they are in settings, profiles and adjust your ring volume in there

I found the manual on the internet and followed the instructions under ringing.

The number of rings (2/4/toll saver) is set by a switch on the side of the base on the FM2575. From the picture, it looks like the number of rings switch is on the back near the ring volume switch.

ManualsLib has the manual for the Southwestern Bell FM2575 here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/164165/Southwestern-Bell-Fm2575.html . See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/164165/Southwestern-Bell-Fm2575.html?page=9#manual (page 17) for the directions. Alternatively, see http://phone.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/southwestern_bell/integrated_speakerphone_telephone_with_caller_idcall_waiting_and_digital_answering_system_model_fm_2575.html . Page 5 has the image of the switches.

I hope this helps.
