Number of rings

You can change the number of times the phone rings before the unit answers calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or “Auto”.

“Auto”: The unit answers after 2 rings when new messages have been recorded, and after 5 rings when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to listen to new messages (page 28), you will 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 Service Provider Voice Mail 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/telephone company. You will need to first subscribe or activate this service through your service provider/telephone company. Consult your service provider/telephone company 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/telephone company may use a “Stutter” dial tone to indicate that you have Voice Mail left.

L To use the unit’s answering machine rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company, please consult your service provider/telephone company to have it removed or deactivated permanently or temporarily.

Alternatively you can leave this service connected and change the “Number of Rings” 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/telephone company.
