Answering System Features
Ring count
You can change the number of times the phone rings before the unit answers calls. You can select “2”, “3”, “4” (default), “5”, “6”, “7”, or “Toll saver”.
“Toll saver”: The unit answers on the 2nd ring when new messages have been recorded, and on the 4th ring when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to listen to new messages (page 45), you will know that there are no messages when the phone rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang up without being charged for the call.

For Telstra Homeline service subscribers
To receive Voice Mail and use answering system properly, please note the following:
L“Voice Mail” is a service provided by your Service Provider. You will need to first subscribe or activate this service through your Service Provider. Consult your Service Provider on how to operate this service and how you will be notified that you have messages on your Voice Mail.
To use this service you will be required to leave your answering machine off on your unit.
This will allow the Voice Mail to receive any messages.
This unit does not have a visual indicator to indicate if there are new messages in your Voice Mail service. Your Service Provider may use a “Stutter” dial tone to indicate that you have Voice Mail left.
LTo use the unit’s answering machine rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your Service Provider, please consult your Service Provider to have it removed or deactivated permanently or temporarily. Alternatively you can leave this service connected and change the “Ring count” to a shorter duration on your unit so your unit’s answering machine can pick up the call prior to the Voice Mail provided by your Service Provider.
Note:
LProvider Voice Mail can capture messages that can be missed while the customer is on the Internet.
