• Setting the number of rings to toll saver can save on long distance charges if you call to check your messages from a remote location because the answering system will answer the incoming call after two rings only when there are new messages. Answering system operation Answering system setup The answering system uses voice prompts to guide you through the steps to setup the answering system. Press /PLAY/STOP anytime to save and exit the SET UP menu. Set number of rings This feature allows you to select the number of rings before the answering system answers. You can choose from two, four or six rings or toll saver. With toll saver selected, the answering system answers after two rings when there is a new message and after four rings when there are no new messages. To set the number of rings: 1. Press SET UP when the telephone is not in use and the system announces the current number of rings setting. 2. Press /SKIP or /REPEAT until the system announces the desired setting, then press SET UP to save the setting and go to the next setting, or press /PLAY/STOP to save and exit set up mode. If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting and voicemail service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings. By doing this, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message. 28 www.vtechphones.com
