You can select the number of rings the

The system can answer calls in 2, 4,
or 7 rings. If you set the switch to
TS
(Toll Saver), the TAD-277 answers in
four rings if there are no new or saved
messages, or in two rings if you have
messages. This can save you long-
distance charges because, if there are
no new messages, you can hang up
before the TAD-277 answers.
