Answering system
settings
Number of rings before the
unit answers a call
You can change the number of times the
phone rings “Ring count” before the
unit answers calls. You can select 2 to 7
rings, or “Toll saver”.
The default setting is “4 rings”.
“Toll saver”: 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 35), 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.

For voice mail service subscribers
If you subscribe to a flat-rate service
package that includes Caller ID, call
waiting, voice mail, and unlimited
local/regional/long distance calls, please
note the following:
L To use the voice mail service provided
by your service provider/telephone
company rather than the unit’s
answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 32).
L To use this unit’s answering system
rather than the voice mail service
provided by your service provider/
telephone company, please contact
your service provider/telephone
company to deactivate your voice mail
service.
If your service provider/telephone
company cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “Ring count”
setting so that this unit’s answering
system answers calls before the
voice mail service of your service
provider/telephone company does.
It is necessary to check the number
of rings required to activate the
voice mail service provided by your
service provider/telephone
company before changing this
setting.
– Change the number of rings of the
voice mail service so that the
answering system can answer the
call first. To do so, contact your
service provider/telephone
company.
Caller’s recording time
You can change the maximum message
recording time allowed for each caller.
The default setting is “3 min”.

record messages.

“Caller’s recording time”, page 37.
Note:
L When you select “Greeting only”:
– If you do not record your own
message, the unit will play the pre-
recorded greeting-only message
asking callers to call again later.
