You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers calls.
You can select 2 to 7 rings, or

Auto
”
.
“
Auto
”
: The unit answers after 2 rings when
new messages have been recorded, and
after 5 rings when there are no new
messages. If you call your phone from
outside to listen to new messages (page

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
Please note the following:
– To receive messages correctly with your
voice mail service, we recommend that
you do not use the unit’s answering
system. Make sure that the answering
system is turned off (page 32).
– If you would rather use the unit’s
answering system than the voice mail
service provided by your service
provider/telephone company, ask 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 your service provider/telephone
company’s voice mail service tries to
answer your calls. 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.
Selecting the caller’s recording
time
You can change the maximum message
recording time allotted to each caller, or set
the unit to greet callers but not record
messages.
