Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after two, three,
four, five, six or seven rings. You can also select toll saver 2-4 or toll saver
4-6. If toll saver 2-4 is selected, the answering system answers a call after two
rings when you have new messages, or after four rings when there are no new
messages. If toll saver 4-6 is selected, the answering system answers a call after
four rings when you have new messages, and after six rings when there are no
new messages.
If you want the built-in answering system instead of the voicemail to answer a
call, you should set the answering system to answer a call at least two rings
before the voicemail is set to answer. Contact your telephone service provider
for information on your voicemail settings.
