The answering system does not answer after the correct number of rings.

Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the red light on the ON/OFF key should be lit.

If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting (page 36).

If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the system will answer after 10 rings. If the memory is full, you need to delete some old messages in order to make room for new messages.

In some cases, the answering system may be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone
