Ring setting in TAM/FAX mode

You can change the number of rings before the unit answers calls. You can choose from “2” (default), “3”, “4”, “TOLL SAVER” and “RINGER OFF”. This setting can be changed by feature #06 on page 59.

“TOLL SAVER”: The unit answers after 2 rings when new messages have been recorded, and after 4 rings when there are no new messages. If you call your unit from outside to listen to new messages (page 56), you will know that there are no new messages when the unit rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang up without being charged for the call.

Note:

LTo turn the ringer OFF for the handset, see page 22.
