Number of rings

You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers
calls. You can select 2 to 6 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 40), 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 voice mail service subscribers
Please note the following:
– To receive messages correctly with
your voice mail service, we
recommend that you do not use the
unit's answering system. Make sure
that the answering system is turned
off (page 36).
– If you would rather use the unit's
answering system than the voice mail
service provided by your service
provider/telephone company, ask your
service provider/telephone company
to deactivate your voice mail service.

If your service provider/telephone
Page
company cannot do this, set this unit's
42
"Number of Rings" setting so that
this unit's answering system answers
42 calls before your service
provider/telephone company's voice
mail service tries to answer your calls.
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.
Caller's recording time
You can change the maximum message
recording time allotted to each caller, or
set the unit to greet callers but not record
messages.
