“
Toll saver
”: The unit answers on the
2nd ring when new messages have been
recorded, and on the 4th ring when there
are no new messages. If you call your

messages (page 50), you will know that
there are no messages when the phone
rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang
up without being charged for the call.

For Voice Mail service subscribers
If you subscribe to a flat-rate bundle
service that includes Caller ID, Call
Waiting, Voice Mail, and unlimited local/
regional/long distance calls, please note
the following:
L
To use the Voice Mail service provided
by the telephone company rather than
the unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 46).
This unit does not have an indicator to
indicate if there are new messages in
your mailbox service.
L
To use this unit’s answering system
rather than the Voice Mail service
provided by your telephone company,
please contact your telephone company
to deactivate your Voice Mail service.
If the telephone company cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “
Ring count
” setting
so that this unit’s answering system
answers calls before the telephone
company’s Voice Mail service tries to
answer your calls. It is necessary to
check the ring count required to
activate the Voice Mail service
provided by your telephone company
before changing this setting.
– Change the ring count of the Voice
Mail service so that the answering
system can answer the call first. To do
so, consult your telephone company.
