One ring scam alert

The one ring scam alert feature notifies the
user when calling back a number that is
judged to be a scam call. This can help reduce
the risk of calling back expense international
numbers.
During an incoming call, if the caller
disconnect the call after 1 or 2 rings, the call is
judged to be a scam call. Depending on the
number of rings made before a call is
disconnected, a non-malicious call may also
be judged as a scam call. The default setting
is "1 or 2 rings".
Note:
R The call will not be judged as a scam call in
the following conditions:
– When a call is answered by pressing
MTALK/ZN (page 20).
– When a call is screened by pressing
MTELE.BLK.N (page 29).
– When a call is answered with Answer by
voice Command (page 24).
– When a call is blocked with the call block
feature (page 25).
– When automated call block is set to
"Block" (page 27).
– When a call is answered by answering
system.
To use this feature, set the ring count for
the answering system to more than the
number of rings of the one ring scam
alert (page 53).
– When a call is answered by a voicemail
service.
To use this feature, set the ring count for
