Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after two, four, or six rings. You can also select toll saver, which is explained below. Unless you change it, the answering system answers an incoming call after four rings.
To set the number of rings:
1.Press SETUP. The system will announce "Number of rings," followed by the current setting, and then "To change the setting, press SKIP or REPEAT; to continue setup, press SETUP."
2.Press 
SKIP or 
REPEAT to change to two, four, or six rings, or toll saver.
•Toll saver - the answering system answers a call after two rings if you have new messages, and after four rings when there are no new messages. This allows you to check for new messages and avoid paying long distance charges if you are calling from out of your local area.
3.Press SETUP to save your selection and move to the next menu option.
Press 
PLAY/STOP to save your selection and exit the menu.
NOTE: If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting. By doing this, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
