Number of Rings

You can select the number of times the unit rings before the Answering System
answers a call, from “2” to “7” or “Toll saver”*. The factory preset is “4”.
If you select “Greeting only”, the unit will answer calls with the greeting
message, and then hang up. The unit will not record any incoming messages.
The base unit will display “ ” instead of the number of messages.

When you call the unit from a remote operation, the number of rings will tell you
if there are any new messages. If the unit answers on the 2nd ring, there is at
least one new message. If the unit answers on the 4th ring, there are no new
messages. To save the toll charges for the call, hang up immediately when you
hear the 3rd ring. The 3rd ring indicates that there are no new messages.
