Set number of rings
You can set the answering system to
answer an incoming call after two, three,
four, five or six rings; or toll saver.
If you choose toll saver, the answering
system answers a call after two rings when
you have new messages, or 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 your local area.
