Answering System Ring count You can change the number of times the phone rings before the unit answers calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or "Toll saver". The default setting is "4 rings". "Toll saver": The unit's answering system answers at the end of 2nd ring when new messages have been recorded, or at the end of 4th ring when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to listen to new messages (page 33), you will know that there are no new messages when the phone rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang up without being charged for the call. 1 {MENU} (center of joystick) i I i {SELECT} 2 {V}/{^}: "Settings" i {SELECT} 3 {V}/{^}: "Ring count" i {SELECT} 4 {V}/{^}: Select the desired setting. 5 {SAVE} i {OFF} For Voice Mail service subscribers If you subscribe to a flat-rate service package that includes Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voice Mail, and unlimited local/ regional/long distance calls, please note the following: L To use the Voice Mail service provided by your service provider/ telephone company rather than the unit's answering system, turn off the answering system (page 30). L To use this unit's answering system rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your service provider/ telephone company, please contact your service provider/telephone company to deactivate your Voice Mail service.
