After you release min, the answering machine repeats the day and time. Note: When you first press min, the answering machine announces the minutes in 1-minute increments, then increases the rate to 5-minute increments. Setting the Number of Rings Use the slide switch on the back of the answering machine to adjust how many times the phone will ring before the answering machine picks up the call. You can chose 3 rings, 5 rings, or "Toll Saver." Toll Saver sets the answering machine to pick up the call after 3 rings when new messages are present, or after 5 rings when there are no new messages. Using this feature, if you call long distance to check your messages and the phone does not pick up after the third ring, you can hang up and avoid the toll charge because no new messages are waiting. 24 Answering Machine
