Number of rings
You can change the number of times the 
phone rings before the unit answers 
calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or 
“Auto”.
“Auto”: The unit answers after 2 rings 
when new messages have been 
recorded, and after 5 rings when there 
are no new messages. If you call your 
phone from outside to listen to new 
messages (page 28), you will know that 
there are no new messages when the 
phone rings for the 3rd time. You can 
then hang up without being charged for 
the call.

For Service Provider Voice Mail 
Subscribers
To receive Voice Mail and use answering 
system properly, please note the 
following:
L
“Voice Mail” is a service provided by 
your service provider/telephone 
company. You will need to first 
subscribe or activate this service 
through your service 
provider/telephone company. Consult 
your service provider/telephone 
company on how to operate this 
service and how you will be notified 
that you have messages on your 
Voice Mail.
To use this service you will be required 
to leave your answering machine off 
on your unit.
This will allow the Voice Mail to 
receive any messages.
This unit does not have a visual 
indicator to indicate if there are new 
messages in your Voice Mail service. 
Your service provider/telephone 
company may use a “Stutter” dial tone 
to indicate that you have Voice Mail 
left.
L
To use the unit’s answering machine 
rather than the Voice Mail service 
provided by your service 
provider/telephone company, please 
consult your service 
provider/telephone company to have it 
removed or deactivated permanently 
or temporarily.
Alternatively you can leave this 
service connected and change the 
“Number of Rings” to a shorter 
duration on your unit so your unit’s 
answering machine can pick up the 
call prior to the Voice Mail provided by 
your service provider/telephone 
company.
