Setting the Number of Rings
The ring time setting 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. If you enable the Toll Saver (TS) setting, the answering system picks up after two rings if you have new messages, and after four rings if there are none. This way, if you make a long distance call to check your messages, you can hang up after the third ring to avoid long distance billing charges.
1)Press Menu/Select.
) Select the Ans. Setup menu, and then the Ring Time submenu.
3)Move the cursor to select a ring time (Toll Saver, 2 Times, 4 Times, or 6 Times).
4)Press Menu/Select. You will hear a confirmation tone.
Setting the Record Time (or Announce only)
You can choose how long callers have to record a message. Set the record time to 1 Minute or 4 Minutes to limit the time for incoming messages. If you set the record time to Announce Only, the answering system answers the call but prevents callers from leaving a message.
1)Press Menu/Select.
) Select the Ans. Setup menu, and then the Record Time submenu.
3)Move the cursor to select a record time (1 Minute, 4 Minutes, or Announce Only).
4)Press Menu/Select. You will hear a confirmation tone.
While your answering system is set to Announce Only, the message counter LED on the base displays “A.” If you are using the prerecorded greeting, the system automatically switches to the following message: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please call again.” If you are using a personal greeting, the system continues to use that greeting.
