Answer delay
You can adjust the number of times
your Freestyle 1200 will ring before
the answering machine takes the
call. The original setting is for 6
rings. You can change this to any
number of rings between 2and 9 or
to TIME SAVER.
Time Saver is used to save you time
and the cost of a phone call when
ringing your machine from another
phone to pick up your messages.
Your Freestyle 1200 answers after 2
rings if you have new messages or
after 6 rings if you don’t. So you can
choose to hang up if you hear more
than 2 rings.

button. The machine announces
the current setting and then starts

the machine then confirms the
setting. For example, if you select
Time Saver, you will hear:
“Answer delay: Time Saver”, or for
6 rings, “Calls will be answered
after 6 rings.”
