Toll Saver
The toll saver is the final setting in the Rings to Answer menu. This feature allows you
to know if you have new messages when calling the machine from a remote phone. If
you have new messages, the unit will ring twice before answering. If you don’t, it will
ring five times. This allows you to hang up before the machine answers so that you
don’t have to pay toll charges.
NOTE: The message counter displays 00 for toll saver.
Setting the Incoming Message Length
The message length is the length of time (in minutes) the caller has to leave a
message.
The unit announces and displays the current message length. To change, press NEXT
or PREVIOUS. To set and go on to the next item, press SET.
1. Press and release NEXT or PREVIOUS until the unit announces and displays the
correct incoming message length.
2. Once the length is set, press SET. The unit announces the message length, then
enters the security code menu.
Setting the Security Code
The security code is a programmable 4-digit code which can be used to access
remote functions.
IMPORTANT: The first digit is factory set at zero and cannot be changed.
The default Security Code is 0123.
The unit announces the current security code. To change, press NEXT or PREVIOUS.
To set and exit, press SET.
1. Press and release NEXT or PREVIOUS to choose the second digit (the first digit is not
programmable). The unit announces all 4 digits, but only the selected digit will change.
2. Once you have the desired second digit, press SET to save it and move on to the third
digit.
