answers a call

rings
“
Number of Rings
”
before the unit
answers a call. You can select 2 to 6 rings, or
“
Auto
”
.
“
Auto
”
: The unit’s answering system answers at
the end of the 2nd ring when new messages have
been recorded, or at the end of the 5th ring when
there are no new messages. If you call your phone
from outside to listen to new messages (page 33),
you know that there are no new 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
To receive voice mail and use answering system
properly, please note the following:
L
To use the voice mail service (page 36) provided
by your service provider/telephone company
rather than the unit’s answering system, turn off
the answering system (page 31).
L
To use this unit’s answering system rather than
the voice mail service provided by your service
provider/telephone company, please contact
your service provider/telephone company to
deactivate your voice mail service.
If your service provider/telephone company
cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s
“
Number of Rings
”
setting
so that this unit’s answering system answers
calls before the voice mail service of your
service provider/telephone company does. It
is necessary to check the number of rings
required to activate the voice mail service
provided by your service provider/telephone
company before changing this setting.
– Change the number of rings of the voice mail
service so that the answering system can
answer the call first. To do so, contact your
service provider/telephone company.
Caller’s recording time
You can change the maximum message recording
time allotted to each caller. You can also select
“
Greeting Only
”
which sets the unit to greet
callers but not record messages.
