8.6.1 Ring Delay
This is the number of rings before the
answering machine answers and starts
playing your greeting message. You can
set the answering machine to start
playing your greeting message after 3 to 8
rings or the “ECONOMY” option. The
default ring delay is 5.

If ECONOMY is selected, the ring delay
depends on the answering machine’s
condition.
• If there are new messages in the
answering machine, it will pick up the
line after 2 rings.
• If there are no new messages in the
answering machine, it will pick up the
line after 6 rings.
• Hence, if you want to check if you
have any messages without incurring
call charges, you can hang up the call
after the 3rd ring.
8.6.2 Remote Access
You can check the messages on your
answering machine by calling in from an
outside line and entering the remote
access code*, you will be able to obtain
the messages on your answering
machine. The keypad on the phone you
use to dial in acts like the functions on
your answering machine.
This feature is deactivated by default.
* The remote access code (which is the
same as your PIN code) prevents any
unauthorised remote access of your
answering machine.
