Ring count
^
You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers calls.
“
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
phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 55), you will 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
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 your telephone service provider
rather than the unit’s answering system,
turn off the answering system (page 50).
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 service
provider, please contact your telephone
service provider to deactivate your Voice
Mail service.
If your telephone service provider
cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “
Ring count
” setting
so that this unit’s answering system
answers calls before your telephone
service provider’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
service provider 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 service
provider.
