Number of rings before the
unit answers a call
You can change the number of times the
phone rings “Number of Rings”
before the unit answers a call. You can
select 2 to 7 rings, or “Auto”.
The default setting is “4 Rings”.
“Auto”: The unit’s answering system
answers at the end of the 2nd ring when
new messages have been recorded, or
at the end of the 5th ring when there are
no new messages. If you call your phone
from outside to listen to new messages
(page 34), you know that there are no
new messages when the phone rings for
the 3rd time. You can then hang up
without being charged for the call.

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/telephone company (page
37). You will need to first subscribe or
activate this service through your
service provider/telephone company.
Contact your service provider/
telephone company 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 (page 30). This will allow the
service to receive any messages. This
unit has a visual indicator (0) to
indicate new messages. Your service
provider/telephone company also
uses a “Stutter” dial tone to indicate
new messages.
L To use the unit’s answering machine
rather than the service provided by
your service provider/telephone
company, please contact your service
provider/telephone company to have it
removed or deactivated permanently
or temporarily. Alternatively you can
leave this service connected and
change the “Number of Rings” 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/telephone
company.
Note:
L This service can capture messages
while the user is on a dial-up Internet
connection.
