Setting ring time switch

The ring time/toll saver switch allows you to set the number of rings the caller hears before the answering system plays your outgoing message. You can set the switch to answer after two rings or after four rings.

Once the greeting has started, you can stop it when you pick up the call at the handset or base. In the TS (Toll Saver) position, the answering system picks up after two rings if you have new messages, and after four rings if there is none. This way, if you call long distance to check your messages, you can hang up after the third ring to avoid billing charges.
