Setting the call tone melody
The surface-mounted hands-free feature home
station offers five call tone melodies, which
can be individually assigned to the floor call
button, the call buttons of the door station or
the internal call buttons of other home
stations. This allows, for example, a different
door station call button with an individual call
tone melody to be assigned to each person
(e.g. parents, children) in a household with
several people.
The call tone melody is set as follows:
1. Trigger the call tone whose melody you
would like to change by pressing the
corresponding call button which was
previously taught in.

call tone, press and hold the button on
the home station.

3 s as well until the new call tone melody is
heard.

Steps 2 and 3.
3 Each time the and buttons are
pressed, a new call tone melody is set.
When the last call tone melody is reached,
the next button press starts over at the first
melody.
