you can set it to be any number of rings between three and eight.

“distinctive” ring patterns. Please experiment with this setting as needed for
your specific phone system.

press the YES button to see the
Options menu.

until Answering Machine is
highlighted. Press the YES
button to select.
3. Press the DOWN arrow button
repeatedly until Answer Ring
Count is highlighted. Press the
YES button to accept.
4.

arrow
buttons to select the number of
rings, from 3 rings up to 8 rings
