number of rings so that your answering system
answers before your voicemail answers. To determine
how many rings activate your voicemail, contact your
telephone service provider.
• If there is a fax machine connected to the same
telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If

Try waiting until the announcement is over before
entering the code.
