after 2 rings if you have new messages and 4 rings if you don’t. You
can hang up during the third or fourth ring.
If your answering system is off, it will answer after about ten rings
and sound a series of beeps instead of your greeting.
During the greeting (or beeps), press

enter your
security code. (If you enter it incorrectly 3 times, the system hangs

stored in memory, and a help prompt. Then it starts beeping
intermittently to let you know it's waiting for your command.
