Answering system settings
In the answering system setup menu, you can change the settings for call
screening, number of rings, remote access code and message alert tone.
Call screening
The call screening feature lets you listen at the telephone
base to a caller leaving a message. While monitoring an
incoming message, you can answer the call by pressing
HOME/FLASH or /SPEAKER on the handset.
To change the settings:
Press MENU/SELECT on the handset in idle mode to enter
the main menu.
Use CID or DIR to scroll to Answering sys, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Use CID or DIR to scroll to Ans sys setup, then press
MENU/SELECT twice to select Call screening.
Press CID or DIR to choose between On and Off.
Press MENU/SELECT to confirm your setting. You hear a
confirmation tone.
NOTE: For more information on call screening, see page 67.
Number of rings
When the answering system is turned on, it answers all incoming home calls
after the number of rings set. You can choose from two, four, or six rings;
or toll saver. With toll saver selected, the answering system answers after
two rings when you have new messages, and after four rings when you have
no new messages. This enables you to check for new messages and avoid
paying unnecessary long distance charges if you are calling from out of your
local area.
To set the number of rings:
Press MENU/SELECT on the handset in idle mode to enter
the main menu.
Press CID or DIR to highlight Answering sys, then
press MENU/SELECT.
Press CID or DIR to highlight Ans sys setup, then
press MENU/SELECT.
Press CID or DIR to highlight # of rings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Press CID or DIR to choose from 2, 4, 6 or Toll saver,
then press MENU/SELECT. You hear a confirmation tone.
