Ring count
You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers calls.
You can select “2”, “3”, “4” (default), “5”,
“6”, “7”, or “Toll saver”.
“Toll saver”: The unit answers on the
2nd ring when new messages have been
recorded, and on the 4th ring when there
are no new messages. If you call your
phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 47), you will know that
there are no messages when the phone
rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang
up without being charged for the call.

Message Mailbox service subscribers
To receive Call Minder or Message
Mailbox messages and use the unit's
answering system properly, please note
the following:
L “Call Minder” and “Message Mailbox”
are services provided by your Service
Provider. You will need to first subscribe
or activate this service through your
Service Provider. Consult your Service
Provider on how to operate this service
and how you will be notified that you
have messages.
To use this service you will be required
to leave your answering machine off on
your unit. This will allow the service to
receive any messages.
This unit does not have a visual indicator
to indicate if there are new messages.
Your Service Provider uses a “Stutter”
dial tone to indicate that you have new
messages.
L To use the unit’s answering machine
rather than the service provided by your
Service Provider, please consult your
Service Provider to have it removed or
deactivated permanently or temporarily.
Alternatively you can leave this service
connected and change the “Ring count”
to a shorter duration on your unit so your
unit's answering machine can pick up
the call prior to the service provided by
your Service Provider.
Note:
L This service can capture messages
while the user is on a dial-up Internet
connection.
