Internal Audible Ringer (Code 941)
PrivacyCall models come with an internal audible ringer just like a phone has so you can hear your caller
ringing in. The ringer only sounds when an invited or coded caller dials in or during programming. So
when your caller who is on the Invited list calls, the ringer will sound off and Port 2 will begin to ring any
phones connected to it. You could use the PrivacyCall as a standalone ringer and leave the rest of your
phones and answer machine connected as usual throughout your home or office. This ringer can be
turned on and off with program code 941 (ON) or 940 (OFF). Enter programming with # # and then
enter 940 hear <beep><beep> to turn it off. The ringer comes turned on from the factory.

you want to install the PrivacyCall at your home or office in line with the terminal block (demarc) and the
rest of your phones, then the PrivacyCall can ring your phones only when you want them to.

Combination Corded-Cordless/Answer Machine Phone System

an optional second inexpensive answer machine for all other anonymous callers connected to Port 1.
Alternatively, if you have Voice Mail service from the phone company, connect your combo phone to Port
1 so the phone company can capture your calls. If you want to just use the internal ringer and capture
anonymous calls to the combo phone/answer machine, connect your combo phone to Port 1. Note: Call

phone in the home/office.
Combination Port Ringing (Code 753)
PrivacyCall can combine Ports 1 and 2 to share ports during inbound and outbound ringing for most
functions particularly when you need to have one answer machine do all the answering. Preferred
Invited callers will ring Port 2 and Unknown callers will ring Port 1 but the difference can be heard with
the internal audible ringer for only Invited callers. Both call types can be answered with one answer
machine if needed using Code 753. To enable Combination Port Ringing, use your phone in any port and
PRESS ## then PRESS 753 hear <Beep><Beep>. To disable this function, PRESS ## then 752.
