Ring count in the TAD/FAX mode
The number of rings before a call is answered can be changed on feature #06 (p. 65). You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF.
TOLL SAVER: When you call the unit from a remote location, the number of rings will tell you if there are any new voice messages. If the unit answers on the second ring, there is at least one new recorded message. If the unit answers on the fourth ring, there are no new recorded messages. To save the toll charges for the call, hang up immediately when you hear the third ring. The third ring indicates that there are no new recorded messages.
RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without ringing.
●If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, set to 2 or more rings.
