Setting the Number of Rings

The ring time setting allows you to set the number of rings the caller hears before your answering machine plays the outgoing message. You can set the ring time to answer after two, four, or six rings. If you enable the Toll Saver (TS setting), the answering machine picks up after two rings if you have new messages, and after four rings if there are none. This way, if you make a long distance call to check your messages, you can hang up after the second ring to avoid long distance billing charges.

From the base or handset:

1)Press the MENU soft key. Select the ANSW. SETUP menu, and then the RING TIME submenu.

2)Move the cursor to select a Ring Time (2 TIMES, 4 TIMES, 6 TIMES or TOLL SAVER).

3)Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Setting the Record Time (or Announce Only)

You can choose how tong callers have to record a message. Set the record time to 1 MINUTE or 4 MINUTES to limit the record time for incoming messages. If you set the record time to ANNOUNCE ONLY, the answering machine an- swers the call but prevents callers from leaving a message.

From the base or handset:

1)Press the MENU soft key. Select the ANSW. SETUP menu, and then the RECORD TIME submenu.

2)Move the cursor to select Record Time (1 MINUTE, 4 MINUTES, orANNOUNCE ONLY).

3)Press the OK soft key. You wilt hear a confirmation tone.

While your answering machine is set to ANNOUNCE ONLY, the base screen wilt display ANNOUNCE ONLY. If you are using the prerecorded greeting, the answering machine automatically switches to the following message: "Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please call again." If you are using a personal greeting, the answering machine continues to use that greeting.
