Choose the number of rings
before the system answers a
call. When toll saver is active,
the system answers after two
rings if there are new messag-
es, and after four rings if there
are no new messages. When
retrieving messages from a long
distance call, you may discon-
nect your call after three rings
so that long distance charges
will not be charged.
When on, you can hear callers
leaving messages, or answer
the call.
Enter a two-digit number (10-
99) for remote access from
another telephone (page 45).
When on, the telephone beeps
every 10 seconds when there
are new messages.

mode, you will delete all old messages and the message alert tone will be temporarily silenced.
The message alert tone will be re-activated with the next incoming message.
