Setting the ring time
The ring time setting allows you to set the
number of rings the caller hears before your
answering system plays the outgoing
message. You can set the ring time to
answer after two, four, or six rings. Setting
“TS” (Toll Saver), the answering system
picks up after two rings if you have new
messages, and after four rings if there are
none. This way, if you make a long distance
call to check your messages, you can hang
up after the second ring to avoid billing
charges.
1. Press CLOCK/MENU three times.
The current ring time setting ( 2 , 4 , 6 ,
(Toll saver)) appears on the base and it
is announced.
2. Press SKIP/SELECT or
REPEAT/SELECT until the desired
ring time appears.
3. Press SET to select the new ring time.
A confirmation tone sounds, the system
announces the new ring time.

from leaving a message.
1. Press CLOCK/MENU four times.
The current recording time ( 1 minute, 4
minutes, a (Announce only)) appears
on the base and it is announced.
