SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS

For each line, the answering system can answer calls after 2, 4 or 6 rings; or Toll Saver.

Toll Saver is a feature which, when selected, will command the answering system to answer an inbound call after 2 rings only if there are new, unplayed messages in memory. Otherwise, the answering system will answer after 4 rings. The purpose of this feature is to assist you in avoiding long distance charges when calling your VT2960 from a remote location to retrieve messages. If the VT2960 does not answer after 2 rings, you can hang up. There aren't any new messages. To set the number of rings:

1.Press MENU. Voice prompt says, "Please select line."

2.Press SELECT to choose the desired line.

3. P r e s s T I M E / S E T t o h e a r confirmation of your line choice, followed by " S e t o u t g o i n g message."

4.Press MENU three times, until voice prompt says, "Set number of rings."

5.Press SELECT to choose between 2, 4, 6 rings, or Toll Saver.

choice. Voice prompt will say,
