Number of rings

When the answering system is turned on, it answers all incoming calls on
line 1 and line 2 after the number of rings set. You can choose from two,
four, or six rings; or toll saver. With toll saver selected, the answering
system answers after two rings when you have new messages, and after
four rings when you have no new messages. This enables you to check for
new messages and avoid paying unnecessary long distance
charges if you are calling from out of your local area.
