Answering system
Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after two, three,
four, five, six or seven rings. You can also select toll saver 2-4 or toll saver
4-6. If toll saver 2-4 is selected, the answering system answers a call after
two rings when you have new messages, or after four rings when there are
no new messages. If toll saver 4-6 is selected, the answering system answers
a call after four rings when you have new messages, and after six rings when
there are no new messages. The toll saver 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
4 rings.
