ring you want, the volume of the ring, and whether you
want the module to vibrate. For more information about
choosing the settings for your ring profiles, see page 106.
Once you’ve set up your two ring profiles, you can quickly
switch between them using the Ring Profile Selector
on the top of the SB3000. The Ring Profile Selector
