The default setting is “2 Rings”.
“Auto”: The unit answers after 2 or 3 rings when new
messages have been recorded, and after 5 or 6 rings
when there are no new messages. If you call your unit
from a remote location to listen to new messages
(page 37), you will know that there are no new
messages when the unit rings for the 4th time. You can
then hang up without being charged for the call.
