Answering system settings

Ring count

You can change the number of times the phone rings before the unit answers calls. The default setting is “4 rings”.

“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 57), 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.
