Security Code	Select a two-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) code. A PIN code is
	required to play your messages from a remote location, you will need to enter
	a two-digit PIN code (see page 27).
Ring Time	Allows you to set the number of rings the caller hears before your answering
	system plays the outgoing message. You can set the ring time to answer after
	two, four, or six rings. Setting “TS” (Toll Saver), the answering system picks up
	after two rings if you have new messages, and after four rings if there are none
	(see page 27).
Record Time	Set the duration for recording the incoming messages. You have three record
	time options. The options “1 minute” or “4 minutes” set the duration for
	recording the incoming messages. “Announce only” answers the call with the
	preset greeting or your personal greeting but prevents the caller from leaving
	a message (see page 27)

	alert tone (see page 28).
