You can change the number of times the 
phone rings “Number of Rings” 
before the unit answers a call. You can 
select 2 to 7 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 41), 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.

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

To use the voice mail service (page 
44) 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 “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 allotted to each caller. 
You can also select “Greeting Only” 
which sets the unit to greet callers but 
not record messages. The default 
setting is “3 Minutes”.

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
