    Which volume?  Ring volume or caller volume?

    A lot of corded phones didn't have an option for the call volume as IIRC it was regulated by the phone itself.  May be the same for the ringer (a quick Google suggests its a more modern corded phone, so it wouldn't have your traditional bell ringer).

    However a lot of domestic home installations don't use the ring connection on the phone line (number 3) but while its probably needed for the older "bell ringer" /retro phones, I can't be sure if that's needed for more modern corded phones which are electronic.

    This is from a different model, but same make. So the process might be the same / similar

    For the the ringer volume:

    To change the receiver volume use the up and down arrow keys during a call to adjust the volume.
