TURNING THE RINGERS
OFF OR ON
To turn off the ringers on the base and
handset, set
RINGER on the right side of
the base to OFF . You can still make or
receive calls using this phone, and tele-
phones on the same line still ring when
there is an incoming call. The IN USE in-
dicator on the base and the TALK indi-
cator on the handset will flash until you
answer the call.
To turn on the base and handset ring-
ers, set
RINGER to ON .
SETTING THE NUMBER
OF RINGS
Set the 2/4/TS switch on the back of the
base to 2 , 4 , or TS to select how long the
TAD waits before it answers a call (2
rings, 4 rings, or toll-saver).
Note: If you plan to check your messag-
es by long distance, set the number of
rings to toll-saver (see “Using Toll-
Saver” on Page 28).
SETTING THE DAY AND
TIME
You must set the day of the week and
time so the TAD can record the correct
day and time of each message.
Note: To avoid losing the day and time
settings if AC power is lost, we recom-
mend you install backup batteries before
you set the day and time (see “Installing
Backup Batteries” on Page 12).

cator lights.
