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 “4rings”.
“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
4th ring when there are no new messages. If you
call your phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 40), 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.
Program this setting using either the one of the
handsets or base unit.

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 37).
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 allotted to each caller. The default setting is
