Ring Count; Recording Time *1; Call Screening *1; Call Screening <On - Panasonic KX-TG8231 Operating Instructions Manual

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".

The default setting is "4 rings".
"Toll saver": The unit's answering
system answers at the end of 2nd ring
when new messages have been
recorded, or at the end of 4th ring when
there are no new messages. If you call
your phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 33), you will know that
there are no new messages when the
phone rings for the 3rd time. You can
then hang up without being charged for
the call.

Answering System
If your service provider/telephone
company cannot do this:
– Set this unit's "Ring count" setting
so that this unit's answering system
answers calls before the Voice Mail
service of your service provider/
telephone company does. It is
necessary to check the ring count
required to activate the Voice Mail
service provided by your service
provider/telephone company before
changing this setting.
– Change the ring count of the Voice
Mail service so that the answering
system can answer the call first. To
do so, consult your service
provider/telephone company.
Caller's recording time
You can change the maximum
message recording time allotted to
each caller. The default setting is
"3 min".
