Answering System Features

Ring count

You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers calls.
You can select 2 to 7 rings or "Toll
saver".
"Toll saver": The unit answers on the
2nd ring when new messages have been
recorded, and on the 4th ring when there
are no new messages. If you call your
phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 65), you will know that
there are no messages when the phone
rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang
up without being charged for the call.
1
Press {MENU} (centre of joystick).
2
Scroll to J, then press {SELECT}.
3
Scroll to "Ring count", then press
{SELECT}.
4
Push the joystick up or down repeatedly
to select the desired setting.
5
Press {SAVE}, then press {OFF}.
Note:
L Usually the unit will announce the
caller's name after the 2nd ring. If you
turn on the answering system, and set
the ring count to 2 rings, the unit will not
announce the caller's name. If "Toll
saver" is selected, and there is a new
message, the unit will not announce the
caller's name.
For Telstra Homeline service
subscribers
To receive Voice Mail and use answering
system properly, please note the following:
L "Voice Mail" is a service provided by
your Service Provider. You will need to
first subscribe or activate this service
through your Service Provider. Consult
your Service Provider on how to operate
this service and how you will be notified
that you have messages on your Voice
Mail.
68
To use this service you will be required
to leave your answering machine off on
your unit.
This will allow the Voice Mail to receive
any messages.
This unit does not have a visual indicator
to indicate if there are new messages in
your Voice Mail service. Your Service
Provider may use a "Stutter" dial tone to
indicate that you have Voice Mail left.
L To use the unit's answering machine
rather than the Voice Mail service
provided by your Service Provider,
please consult your Service Provider to
have it removed or deactivated
permanently or temporarily.
Alternatively you can leave this service
connected and change the "Ring
count" to a shorter duration on your unit
so your unit's answering machine can
pick up the call prior to the Voice Mail
provided by your Service Provider.
Note:
L Provider Voice Mail can capture
messages that can be missed while the
customer is on the Internet.

Caller's recording time

You can change the maximum message
recording time allotted to each caller.
"1min", "2min", or "3min": Caller
messages are limited to 1 minute to 3
minutes.
"Greeting only": The unit plays the
greeting message but does not record
caller messages.
