For each line, the answering system
can answer calls after 2, 4 or 6 rings;

Toll Saver is a feature which, when
selected, will command the answering
system to answer an inbound call after
2 rings only if there are new, unplayed
messages in memory. Otherwise, the
answering system will answer after 4
rings. The purpose of this feature is to
assist you in avoiding long distance
charges when calling your VT2960

messages. If the VT2960 does not
answer after 2 rings, you can hang up.
There aren't any new messages. To
