Have 4 handsets for our cd 445 tel system. two will no longer ring for incoming call whether it is external ir internal but the phones are answerable. nothing moved or changed over last two years carolyn low

Maybe turn up the volume for the ringer on the handset?

I assumed you are talking about your wireless phone.
Are you worried about handset ringing or the incoming call ring?
1. If you want to check your handset ringing, you check it by calling from your base to your handset via INTERCOM. If it rings, then your hanset ringing is working. The trunk or the Tel Company dial tone is the one not going in to your phone.
Hope this helps. Best regards.

The system should be configured so that the desired lines, whether CO or extensions, are set to "Appear and Ring" on each set.
Config... Terminals&sets... Show Set... (enter #)... Find...Line Access... Line Assignments... Show Line (enter #)... set to "Appear and Ring" on each set that needs to ring.

You can also have a line "Ring Only" without an appearance (dedicated button), in which case it will show as an intercom call.

There are 2 things that would prevent you from being able to answer a ringing phone by picking up the handset. Your phone has to be ringing, and you need to set preferred line ringing on incoming calls.

The second part is easy. Press PROGRAM 99 and dial 22 STORE on your phone. Now when a call rings on your phone you can pick it up. If you can't, then your phone is not ringing.

Ringing is set in system programming.

The answer mode determines whether the HP Fax answers incoming calls or not.

Different answer modes are :

* Fax

The HP Fax will automatically answer all incoming calls using the Rings to Answer setting. This is the default setting.

* FaxTel (unit with handset model only)

The HP Fax automatically answers all incoming calls using the Rings to Answer setting. If the call is a fax call, the HP Fax will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the HP Fax will create a special ring to indicate it is a voice call. The incoming voice call will need to be answered using the attached handset.

NOTE: If the HP Fax determines the call is a voice call, only the HP Fax will ring with the special ring tone. The other phones on the same phone line will not ring at all. You will not be able to pick up the voice call using the other phones.

* Tel

The HP Fax will not automatically answer calls. Faxes will need to be received manually.

* AnswerMachine

The HP Fax will monitor the line when an incoming call is answered by a person or by the answering machine. If the HP Fax detects fax tones on the line, it will receive the fax.
