Beyond the Basics
Setting the Number of Rings
The ring time setting allows you to set the number of rings the
caller hears before your answering machine plays the outgoing
message. You can set the ring time to answer after two, four, or
six rings. If you enable the Toll Saver (TS) setting, the answering
machine 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 long distance billing charges.

Setting the Record Time (or Announce Only)
You can choose how long callers are allowed to record a
message. Set the record time to 1 MINUTE or 4 MINUTES to limit
the record time for incoming messages. If you set the record time
to ANNOUNCE ONLY, the answering machine answers the call
but prevents callers from leaving a message.
