Number of rings before the unit answers a call

You can change the number of times the phone rings Ring countbefore the unit answers calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or Toll saver.

The default setting is 4 rings.

Toll saver: The unit’s answering system answers at the end of the 2nd ring when new messages have been recorded, or at the end of the 5th ring when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to listen to new messages (page 34), you know that there are no new messages when the phone rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang up without being charged for the call.

For voice mail service subscribers To receive voice mail and use answering system properly, please note the following:

LTo use the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company rather than the unit’s answering system, turn off the answering system (page 31).

L To use this unit’s answering system rather than the voice mail service provided by your service provider/ telephone company, please contact your service provider/telephone company to deactivate your voice mail service.

If your service provider/telephone company cannot do this:

Set this unit’s Ring countsetting so that this unit’s answering system answers calls before the voice mail service of your service provider/telephone company does. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to activate the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company before changing this setting.

Change the number of rings of the voice mail service so that the answering system can answer the call first. To do so, contact your service provider/telephone company.
