Answering system
Answering system setup
Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an
incoming call after two, four, or six rings. You can
also select toll saver, which is explained below.
Unless you change it, the answering system
answers an incoming call after four rings.
To set the number of rings:
1. Press SETUP. The system will announce
"Number of rings," followed by the current
setting, and then "To change the setting, press
SKIP or REPEAT; to continue setup, press
SETUP."
2. Press SKIP or REPEAT to change to two,
four, or six rings, or toll saver.
• Toll saver - the answering system answers
a call after two rings if you have new
messages, and after four rings when there
are no new messages. This allows you to
check for new messages and avoid paying
long distance charges if you are calling from
out of your local area.
3. Press SETUP to save your selection and move
to the next menu option.
-OR-
Press
PLAY/STOP to save your selection
and exit the menu.
NOTE: If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting 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. Some voicemail providers may program the delay
before answering calls in seconds instead of rings; in this
case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the
appropriate setting. 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.
