Answering system settings
Number of rings before the unit 
answers a call
You can change the number of times the phone 
rings “Ring count” before the unit answers 
calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or “Toll 
saver
.
The default setting is “4rings”.
“Toll saver”: 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 
4th ring when there are no new messages. If you 
call your phone from outside to listen to new 
messages (page 40), 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.
Program this setting using either the one of the 
handsets or base unit.

For voice mail service subscribers
If you subscribe to a flat-rate service package that 
includes Caller ID, call waiting, voice mail, and 
unlimited local/regional/long distance calls, please 
note the following:
L
To use the voice mail service provided by your 
service provider/telephone company rather than 
the unit’s answering system, turn off the 
answering system (page 37).
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 “Ring count” 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.
