SETTING THE RINGS TO ANSWER

Set the RINGER SELECT switch on the back of the unit to set the number of times you want the phone to ring before the system answers a call. You may choose 3 rings, 5 rings or Toll Saver.

USING TOLL SAVER

Toll Saver can save you the cost of a call when you access your messages from another phone:

If you have new messages, the unit answers after the 3rd ring.

If you have no new messages, the unit answers after the 5th ring.

You can hang up after the 3rd or 4th ring and save the pay telephone or long distance charge.

RECORDING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT

For best results when recording, you should be about nine inches from the microphone, and eliminate as much background noise as possible.

1.Make sure the answering system is ON.

2.Press and hold the announce button.

3.Begin speaking after you hear the beep.

4.Release the button when you finish your announcement.

NOTE: If you choose not to record an outgoing announcement, a default announcement plays instead. To return to the default announcement after you have recorded your own outgoing announcement, press the announce button and release it when you hear the beep.
