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 six, nine, or twelve 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 second ring to avoid long distance billing charges.
From the handset:
) Press [menu/clear]. Select the ANSW. SETUP menu, and then the RING TIME submenu.
2)Move the cursor to select a ring time (TOLL SAVER, 6 TIMES, 9 TIMES, or 12 TIMES).
3)Press [select/
]. You will hear a confirmation tone.
