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 27), 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 voice mail service subscribers
Please note the following:
–To receive messages correctly with your voice mail service, we recommend that you do not use the unit’s answering system. Make sure that the answering system is turned off (page 24).
–If you would rather use the unit’s answering system than the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company, ask your service provider/telephone company to deactivate your voice mail service. If your service provider/telephone company cannot do this, set this unit’s “Number of Rings” setting so that this unit’s answering system answers calls before your service provider/telephone company’s voice mail service tries to answer your calls. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to activate the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company before changing this setting.
