Answering system settings
Number of rings
When the answering system is turned on, it answers all incoming home calls after the number of rings set. You can choose from two, three, four, five or six rings; or toll saver. With toll saver selected, the answering system answers after two rings when you have new messages, and after four rings when you have no new messages. This enables you to check for new messages and avoid paying unnecessary long distance charges if you are calling from outside of your local area. The default number of rings is four.
