Set number of rings
This feature allows you to select the number of rings before the answering system
answers. You can choose from two, four or six rings or toll saver. With toll saver
selected, the answering system answers after two rings when you have new
messages, and after four rings when you have no new messages.
To set the number of rings:
Press SET UP when the phone is not in use. The system announces the current
number of rings setting.
Press /SKIP or /REPEAT until the system announces the desired setting,
then press SET UP to save and go to the next setting, or press /PLAY/STOP
to save and exit set up mode.
If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting and voicemail service through your
telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and
voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings
earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail
to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after
four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering
calls in seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when
determining the appropriate setting. By doing this, if you are on a call, or if the
answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the
second caller can leave a voicemail message.
