Ring count
You can change the number of times the phone rings before the unit answers calls.
The default setting is “4”.
“Toll saver”: The unit answers on the 2nd ring when new messages have been recorded, and on the 4th ring when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to listen to new messages (page 32), 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 Telecom Call Minder or TelstraClear Message Mailbox service subscribers
To receive Call Minder or Message Mailbox messages and use answering system properly, please note the following:
L“Call Minder” and “Message Mailbox” are services provided by your service provider/telephone company. You will need to first subscribe or activate this service through your service provider/ telephone company. Consult your service provider/telephone company on how to operate this service and how you will be notified that you have messages.
To use this service you will be required to leave your answering machine off on your unit.
This will allow the service to receive any messages.
LTo use the unit’s answering machine rather than the service provided by your service provider/telephone company, please consult your service provider/telephone company 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 service provided by your service provider/telephone company.
