When you call the unit from a remote location, 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.

•The unit will announce a caller’s name after the 2nd ring (Talking Caller ID, p. 34, 35). If “Toll saver” is selected, and there is a new message, the unit will not announce the caller’s name.
