Setting the Number of Rings

The ring time setting allows you to set the number of
rings the caller hears before your answering system
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
system 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.
