Turn Base Ringer On / Off (preset to ON)
Your Base Ringer is independent of the Handset ringer. To program this feature, follow
the steps in the beginning of the Answering Machine section.
Set 'Announce Only' On / Off (preset to OFF)
If you want callers to leave messages, Announce Only must be set to OFF .
If you do not want callers to leave messages, set Announce Only to ON .
Follow the steps in the beginning of the Setup section.
Turn Audible Message Alert On / Off
With Message Alert programmed ON , the Base unit will beep approximately every
10 seconds, alerting you to new, unplayed messages and memos. Follow the steps
in the beginning of the Setup section to program this feature.
Set Number of Rings to Answer
Your Answering System can answer after 2-6 rings or you can choose the Toll
Saver option. The Toll saver option instructs the Answering System to answer after
4 rings only if there are new , unplayed messages; otherwise, it will answer after 6
rings. The benefit to you is if you are making a long distance call to retrieve messages,
if the Answering System does not answer after 4 rings, you can hang up. There are
no new messages, and you will save the expense of a long distance call.
To set the number of rings to answer, follow the steps in the beginning of the Setup
section.

"memory is full" and a beep is heard, at the same time the 7-segments LED will display
