Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after two, three,
four, five or six rings. You can also select toll saver. If toll saver is selected, the
answering system answers a call after two rings when you have new messages,
and after four rings when there are no new messages. This feature allows you
to check for new messages and avoid paying long distance charges when
calling from out of your local area. By default, the answering system answers
an incoming call after four rings.
To set the number of rings:
Using a cordless handset or the telephone base:
1. When the handset or telephone base is in idle mode, press
MENU/SELECT to enter the main menu.
2. Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to Answering sys, then press
MENU/SELECT.
3. Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to Ans sys setup, then press
MENU/SELECT.
4. Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to
#
of rings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
5. Press qCID or pDIR to choose among 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or
Toll saver.
6. Press MENU/SELECT to save the setting. You hear a
confirmation tone.
NOTES:
If you subscribe to voicemail service through your telephone service
provider, see Answering system and voicemail indicators on page 84.
If you set the number of rings for the answering system as 2 or 3 rings, the caller ID announce
feature may not have enough time to announce the caller’s full information.
