key should be lit.
• If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes to
two when there are new messages waiting (page 33).
• If the memory is full or if the answering system is off,
the system will answer after 10 rings. If the memory is
full, you need to delete some old messages in order to
make room for new messages.

by the ringing system used by the local telephone
company.
