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 “4 rings”.
“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 38), 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.
