Recordable Ringer
Basic Operation
You can easily record a unique ringer to be used as either your Default Ringer
or for a Distinctive Ringer for assigning to a individual phonebook directory.
You can either record using the provided Audio Patch Cord (not the USB cord),
or simply use the Handset microphone. You are allowed to record 9 unique
ringers for a maximum of 10 seconds each.
Note: Your i 5801 Handset is preset with many musical (i.e. Jazz, R&B, Reggae,
Rock, etc) ringer options for you to use as your default ringer or a distinctive
ringer for a phonebook directory. Three of them are protected. You can’t replace
them. You can replace the other 6 preset ringers with your own ones. Or you can
record your own ringers in another 3 blank locations in “My Clips”. You may find
10 additional sound clips excluding what preset in the Handset on the accom-
panied CD-ROM.
To record a ringer, follow these steps.
Select the Sounds & Alerts icon in the Main Menu.
Select the Sound Clips icon
If you are using the Audio Patch Cord, insert the 3.5mm plug (larger plug)
into the headset jack of your PC or audio source. Insert the 2.5mm plug
(smaller plug) into the Headset jack on the side of the i 5801 Handset.
You can listen to the playing music through your Handset speaker after
connecting the Audio Patch Cord and selecting the Record Preview menu
option. Adjust the recording volume at the audio source, if necessary. When
you hear what you desire to record, press RECORD.
If you want to use the Handset microphone to record ringers, select the
Record Clip menu option. Start recording after you hear a beep.
Hit the STOP soft key when you want to stop the recording.
After the recording is finished, you have the choice to PLAY or SAVE the
recording. If you Save your recording, it will prompt Enter Clip Name. Enter
a name for the recorded melody. If you make a mistake, press soft
key to backspace. Press SAVE to confirm. “Clip has been saved” will
display. The melody will be stored in the My Clips section. You can listen
to all of your recorded musical ringers in My Clips.
Note: When you want to use the Handset microphone to record ringers, do
not insert the Audio Patch Cord into the headset jack.
