9.8 number of Rings
When the answering system is turned on, it answers all incoming home calls after the number of rings
set. You can choose from 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 rings; or time saver. With time saver selected, the answering
system answers after 2 rings when you have new messages, and after 4 rings when you have no new
messages. This enables you to check for new messages and avoid paying unnecessary long distance
charges if you are calling from out of your local area.
