The IA5864 doesn't have a ringer volume control but it does offer you a choice of several different ring styles, some quieter than others.

With the handset in idle (off) mode, press PROG. Press up/down until the screen displays "RINGER:" and the current setting. Press SELECT and you'll hear a sample of the ring. Press up/down to change the style. You'll hear a sample ring each time.
