Changing the number of rings

You can change the number of times the phone rings before the unit answers calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or “Auto”.

“Auto”: The unit answers after 2 rings when new messages have been recorded, and after 5 rings when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to listen to new messages (page 34), you will know that there are no new messages when the phone rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang up without being charged for the call.

For Telstra Homeline service subscribers

To receive Voice Mail and use answering system properly, please note the following:

L “Voice Mail” is a service provided by your Service Provider. You will need to first subscribe or activate this service through your Service Provider. Consult your Service Provider on how to operate this service and how you will be notified that you have messages on your Voice Mail.

To use this service you will be required to leave your answering machine off on your unit.

This will allow the Voice Mail to receive any messages.

This unit does not have a visual indicator to indicate if there are new messages in your Voice Mail service. Your Service Provider may use a “Stutter” dial tone to indicate that you have Voice Mail left.

L To use the unit’s answering machine rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your Service Provider, please consult your Service Provider to have it removed or deactivated permanently or temporarily.

Alternatively you can leave this service connected and change the “Ring count” to a shorter duration on your unit so your unit’s answering machine can pick up the call prior to the Voice Mail provided by your Service Provider.

Note:

L Provider Voice Mail can capture messages that can be missed while the customer is on the Internet.

Selecting the caller’s recording time

You can change the maximum message recording time allotted to each caller, or set the unit to greet callers but not record messages.
