Setting the Ring Count
The ring count setting will prompt the
BE-3872 to pick up an incoming call
with the answering machine after 2, 4,
or TS (tollsaver 2/4) rings. There is a
ringer switch on the bottom of the base;
adjust this switch to the number of rings
that you desire.
2R:
The unit will pick up after two rings.
4R:
The unit will pick up after four rings.
TS:
The answering machine will pick up after four rings if there are no new
messages or after two rings if there are. This enables you to hang up after the
third ring when checking your messages remotely (which saves toll charges).

Security Code
The security code prevents your cordless telephone conversation from being

65,000 combinations. The code is changed every time the handset is placed in

c
key. The BE-3872 will scan up to 40 channels and select the clearest one to
provide the best possible reception.
Out-of-Range Warning
If you venture too far from the base, the handset will beep. Reverse your
direction to re-establish connection with the base or the call will be dropped.
When the base detects that the handset has been out of range for 20
continuous seconds it will release the engaged line.
