To set the answer delay
You can set the number of times the
telephone will ring before the Freestyle 1100
Plus answers the call. The
ANS DELAY
switch
can be set to 2, 6 or TS (Time Saver), by
moving the switch one step at a time.
• The
2
rings setting will be answered after
approximately 7 seconds. Your Freestyle
1100 Plus is preset to this position.
• The
6
rings setting will be answered after
approximately 19 seconds.
• The
TS
setting (Time Saver) is used to save
time when accessing your machine
remotely. Your Freestyle 1100 Plus answers
after 2 rings if you have any new messages
or 6 rings if there are none. When you call
to listen to your messages, if the telephone
rings a third time it means there are no
messages, so hang up to save time.
