You can change the number of times the 
phone rings “Number of Rings” before the 
unit answers a call. You can select 2 to 6 rings, 
or “Auto”.
The default setting is “4 Rings”.
“Auto”: The unit’s answering system answers 
at the end of the 2nd ring when new messages 
have been recorded, or at the end of the 5th 
ring when there are no new messages. If you 
call your phone from outside to listen to new 
messages (page 43), you 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.

To receive voice mail and use answering 
system properly, please note the following:
L

To use the voice mail service (page 45) 
provided by your service provider/
telephone company rather than the unit’s 
answering system, turn off the answering 
system (page 40).

L

To use this unit’s answering system rather 
than the voice mail service provided by your 
service provider/telephone company, 
please contact your service provider/
telephone company to deactivate your 
voice mail service.
If your service provider/telephone company 
cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “Number of Rings” 

setting so that this unit’s answering 
system answers calls before the voice 
mail service of your service provider/
telephone company does. It is necessary 
to check the number of rings required to 
activate the voice mail service provided 
by your service provider/telephone 
company before changing this setting.

– Change the number of rings of the voice 

mail service so that the answering 
system can answer the call first. To do 
so, contact your service provider/
telephone company.

You can change the maximum message 
recording time allowed for each caller. The 
default setting is “3 Minutes”.

the unit to announce a greeting message to 
callers but not record messages.
Select “Greeting Only” in step 2 on 
“Caller’s recording time”, page 44.
Note:
L

When you select “Greeting Only”:
– If you do not record your own message, 

the unit will play the pre-recorded 
greeting-only message asking callers to 
call again later.

– If you use your own message, record the 

greeting-only message asking callers to 
call again later (page 41).
