Using the Toll-Saver

Ifis set to TS (toll-saver), (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 12), the answering system answers after three rings if you have new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the answering system answers after five rings. This gives you time to hang up before the answering system answers so
