If it's anything like my phone, there should be a musical note on symbol on the pound key. If you hold down pound than it should toggle the ringer on and off.

Hope this helps!

"An icon of the ringer with a slash through it"?....Usually that means that the ringer is OFF.If you're sure that the ringer is in fact ON , then check your profile.If it's in the Silent or Meeting profile, the ringer is switched off by default and it goes to vibrate.

Even though the sound is on Is ur ringtone set high?

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help with your problem.

The "ringer off' message on the base display is referring to the ringer on the "base" unit not the phone ringers. Your phone handset(s) will still ring even when the base ringer turned off.

To turn the ringer on the base back on press and hold push the ^ symbol on the base until it beeps two times, To turn the base ringer off, press and hold the v symbol until the unit beeps.

If my information has proven to be of help, please give me good rating. Thanks for using FixYa!
