Answering system settings
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 two, three, four, five or six rings; or toll
saver. With toll saver selected, the answering system
answers after two rings when you have new messages,
and after four 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 outside of your local area. The default number
of rings is four.
