Set 2/4/7/TS located on the right side of the
system to 2 , 4 , 7 to set how long the system
waits before it answers a call (2 rings, 4 rings,
7 rings).
Using Toll Saver
To help you avoid unnecessary long distance
charges, you can set
2/4/7/TS to TS (Toll Sav-
er). Once you select TS , if there are new
messages, the system answers on the sec-
ond ring. If there are no new messages, the
system answers on the fourth ring. This fea-
ture gives you time to hang up after the third
ring when you are checking messages from a
long-distance location.
